Stephen,
I know that it's not "just" a very barebones kernel distribution
[there's *6* CDs - if a barebone kernel installation took*6* CDs I'd
be worried] but it doesn't actually say I have "Solaris Express". I
probably don't - but if I don't what *do* I say I have without
confusing anyone including myself?
You are probably using Solaris Express Community Release, which is
Sun's "fast-moving target" distribution of OpenSolaris. You've been
doing BFU upgrades, which mean you are even more bleeding edge.
I see.
It's not actually called "Solaris Express" or "Solaris Express
Community Release" within the distro anywhere, instead it probably
referred to itself as snv_?? to denote which build it came from.
Indeed.
A Linux analogy here would be if you ran Fedora Core 4, with some
newer kernel RPM installed. How would you describe what you have to
others?
It would depend on who they were; my response would range from: "I don't
use Windows", to "I'm running Linux", to "I'm running Fedora Core 4 with
an upgraded kernel" through to "I'm running Fedora Core 4 with Kernel
2.6.18 with XYZ patch".
You would say exactly that "I'm running FC4 with kernel 2.6.foo"
In your case, I would say "I'm running SXCR b51 with ON build 53"
(replace b51 with whatever build of SXCR you downloaded, and 53 with
whatever version of ON you BFU'd)
Unravelling my own confusion then, my "Solaris" responses might go:
"I don't use Windows."
"No, I don't use Linux, I use Solaris."
"I'm running Solaris."
"I'm running Solaris Express Community."
"I'm running SXCR b51 with ON build ??"
DSL
Yup, that sounds exactly right :-)
