I don't think so. The point is that if the download process is complex and involves forcing users to make "an educated choice" before they can download something useful; they'll go somewhere else. When we have a reference distribution (because there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we will; otherwise we will die) it should and must be featured more prominently than other ones so most users will be able to click and go. -- 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
