Why should Sun need to be interested? In the last two years you could have proposed the creation of a distribution community on opensolaris.org and worked with SchilliX from that as a base. Joerg, the only reason SchilliX hasn't gone anywhere is because you and others haven't taken the steps necessary to make that happen. Please don't take offense at this, I downloaded SchilliX when it first came out, and even sent you a few bug reports about the readme or some such thing. I'm just pointing out that you chose to work outside of the "community website" and thus were inevitably invisible to anyone that wasn't already aware of SchilliX through other channels. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
