So do Ubuntu and SuSE simply ignore this IP? If you run an Ubuntu VirtualBox guest on an OpenSolaris host (let's say snv_131), and show OpenSolaris/Ubuntu windows side by side, Ubuntu clearly wins and is much easier on the eyes, with absolutely no modification on the Ubuntu side. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
