Thanks Shawn. I was trying to point that the current methods available do not fly against what is available elsewhere. This is not a case of doing it the linux way...it is a case of doing it in a way that is practical and manageable. > > The official release has an update manager that > provides new driver, > fixes, patches, etc. The Community and Developer > releases do not; if > you want to upgrade with those, you use the upgrade > functionality > provided by the installer with each new release. > So Open Solaris/Solaris 10 is not quite ready for production then? I guess it is hard to tell...unsupported version don't have the tools, supported version has tools but I am not sure that they are quite what I would want to manage clusters of boxes or maybe even a single box if i am paranoid... nexenta has the tools but it is a bit on the late side, needs some more help, uses gcc + gnu ld on sun c library and has no extensive stability record that sun cc compiled and sun ld linked stuff have. What is open solaris' goal I wonder...to be everywhere on servers...desktops...or ???
