On second thought just because there's documentation doesn't necessarily mean that it'll get read. Having good and accessible documentation might not be enough since both words may have a different interpretation.
A better solution is to perhaps tweak OpenSolaris so that it'll simply and clearly ask a user very early on during install time something like: "Do you want to install a command line prompt or shell that is backwardly compatible to legacy Solaris or would you rather install one that is compatible with Linux/bash. Note: for a detailed discussion of which shell to select please press 'h'. The default answer is Yes?" ... or something similar. That should make it self-documenting and will probably 'nip it in the bud' if done here, and perhaps has a better chance as far as these types of discussion go instead of simply having the same types of discussions continuing on to other distros. Having options is one thing, but making sure people know that there are options which are easily opted for early on is probably another matter altogether. --- Jim Grisanzio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > George Jereza wrote: > > > This is a good email thread for new Solaris users, > > especially for those who are considering moving > from > > Linux.
