g4lt, you take a bit too many things, confuse them and out them into one pot. Why are you ranting against Kevin? The OP Kevin is most probably not a user of a Tadpole or Naturetech. He mentioned XP and Ubuntu ... Also: Suspend in Solaris is less than a year old? Interesting. I use to suspend my SPARC systems since about 12 years. Further Garret is not the only one, on my side I got the Xorg server working on them (even though Garret has done 2^64 way more for the Tadpole project). A nice Sunday. %martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
