as far as "PC" clones goes: What about a release cycle that last for years, nevermind this every 6month/1year crap. which is what crash n burn Ubuntu does. None of these will fill the gap as good as 1 major release and updates follow (aka, the way Windows does it, yes Windows, ie: WinXP for years and years, its easier for all development cycles). How many times, right after there is a major release, watch if FireFox,..., doesn't offer some super great upgrade ? Or, some important firmware update after the fact always ends up being offered, in which case, the user has to follow 100's of hoola-hoop threads, just to find out how to implement yet another update/upgrade. Every 6 months, or even every year is a useless burden on development/productions cycles. So instead, we should "FLOW" all these major/minor upgrades/updates along with ONE major release. 1st./ it makes that one main release more visible. kind-of like "FORD", get it ? Don't we do this anyway, by allowing users to upgrade to development cycles anyway? Stick an "update" ICON on the desktop and there you go, offer some update options and thats it. -just like Windows Update.
I think this would be a better long-term solution ?- my 2 Sense. :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
