I think the engineers realize this very much, and more so are doing what they can to make it better. Over the past few years Solaris has made incredible strides to improve. We have a much more usable system today. All of the engineers I interact with seem to want to continue those improvements and Sun is continuing to make great strides for a more usable system. I don't think you have found the right channel to get info, or you don't fully understand where the system was a few years ago to compare honestly today, but I see many improvements that are bringing Solaris to a more usable state. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
