I think we need to colour this properly. If we could make things somewhat like the Mac OS X environment with stable libraries (kernel-wise i believe Open Solaris should not have a problem...) then there should not be a need to make an absolute differentiation of releases. Major releases in the Linux world are due to ABI breakage or GNOME breakage...things like these. I do not see why the kernel getting a new release that does not affect drivers or libraries and their apps should warrant an entire new release. The debian cycle looks rather good actually (their slowness is something else) Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
