The redhat/fedora model draws interesting parallels. There was a huge uproar when redhat got out of the free (and consumer) market. Seems to have worked out reasonably well for them. Then it took a while for fedora to actually stand on its own. I suspect we're much closer to the rehat/fedora model at its beginning than we are to its present state. Fedora is now quite successful, but it wasn't an easy ride. If that is a valuable model to consider, how do we get to that from where we are now? -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
