I believe I was the first to write that I will fork OpenSolaris should I perceive the need to do so. I am not, and have never been an employee of Sun Microsystems, Inc. Also, you are assuming that I'm writing this during my work, which might or might not be correct, but is nevertheless an assumption. May I remind you that engineers don't work with assumptions, unless they have no other choice; we (myself included) work primarily with facts, empirical evidence, when it is available. > If one wanted to combat any takeover, firstly the > product has to improve (I leave out the long list of > grouses on basic functionality, for the time being.). For your information, I've taken the latest-and-greatest revision of Ubuntu Linux for a spin, and am happy to experience that it is not all that better or more polished than Solaris, Ubuntu lacking basic functionality (like installing directly on XFS / from LiveCD, or the "network manager" behaving unreliably and inconsistenly, forcing me to configure networking from the CLI. I'm happy to report that Solaris is fixing important and critical issues faster than the competition (XFS / is a known issue since at least 8.04, so far Solaris has had the most critical and panic causing issues fixed.) > Then, with the type of managers this company had to > make with through the last decade, there is no > future.

The people that really need fired is the whole middle management; and let the team leads finally be able to do their jobs! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
