I don't think most people (oracle especially) are interested in solaris/opensolaris replacing the home user/end user operating system. I'm not saying you can't use it for that purpose; just as there's nothing preventing you from using Windows as an apache server ... The relative strengths/weaknesses of the operating systems design make windows/ubuntu/osx generally better suited for primary end-user desktop interaction, while solaris/opensolaris/RHEL/debian/freebsd are generally better suited to power your servers behind the scenes. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
