Really Joerg; that's just silly. Sun is the one spending time and money on Indiana and obviously plans to see it incorporated into Solaris.

I don't think accepts different paths of development primarily performed by those employed by the same company to be "forks." That would be rather silly. That's like saying Vista is a fork of XP, or some bizarre thing like that. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
