Indeed! The question is what we can do to speed up the "conversion"? I feel like not all of Linux kernel folks even understand the beauty of stable kernel interfaces. I feel like we (OpenSolaris community) need to educate independent Linux developers in this regard. What if Sun will start thinking about organization of some sort of free kernel seminars or summits like OpenSolaris Kernel Summits, where in addition to discussing future kernel development, developers could be educated for free, etc. -- Erast _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
