Glynn, Not directly related, but what is Indiana's plans for sparc? I notice that most communities are not focused on or working on sparc, and as such, much of it doesn't have support. I know that we do plans to have a working KDE for sparc, but Xorg, as an example doesn't have sparc support (thankfully we have x86 support, a big round of applause go to the x86 Xorg team for that;-), nor do many of the distributions such as Nexenta, or I think Indiana is not supporting it first round at least. sparc is going to have a tough future for open source, most communities are not worried about it. I guess this means that sparc systems will be relegated to running Sun's Solaris product. I see that as the lid on the coffin starting to close...lack of open source is going to bite hard. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
