Well, that 'garbage' is running on the TOP FIVE
supercomputers in the world (sidenote: The SGI Altix
ICE 8200 supercomputer in New Mexico runs GNU/Linux as
well which is listed the number three supercomputer)
so do we pull the plug on those ventures as well???
Remember, that "garbage" is in a lot of electronic
products and embedded systems - and provides a lot of
professional-grade jobs across the world. Hate to see
it "trashed" even if I am a OpenSolaris advocater.
You made some good points, but I'm sure you're well
aware that the Indiana preview CD is not IRIX or the
'Solaris' product either. It was meant to be a
conceptual prototype for developers to preview - not a
full production product or beta-quality prototype.
All the major issues like SysVR4 package management,
ZFS, ACL/trusted extensions, and RBAC/sudo are known
and under review. See indiana-discuss (and the
supporting projects like IPS, Caiman, etc).
