Or so Sun's PR department says. Remember when it was Sun + IBM that was going to Change The World? Then not too long ago it was Sun + Microsoft. Sun's looking for a white night to save them and not having much luck, so far. > I still haven't run Solaris/OpenSolaris on an x86 system -- I've > always stuck with Linux -- but I'm about to convert a few systems.

But now my co-workers got me using Debian and I'm addicted to apt and 10000 pre-built packages. Solaris 10's package management doesn't impress. And, of course, good luck finding packages for it outside of the Sun cds. -Jonathan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
