Re: [osol-discuss] Benchmarking OpenSolaris and Solaris 10?
Should be interesting, Ken. Of course performance is only one dimension of platform evaluation, but looking forward to your results. Especially if you decided to throw FBSD-8.1RC2 into the fray;-) Have fun and please do keep us posted. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Choose yourself. > While I think you have a point, I also think OpenSolaris is a bad example of an open source product to make your point with. Even Nexenta would be a better example of a properly open-source product for which you can buy support. The OpenSolaris binary distribution is more like "Open Core", i.e. built from the open source kernel but is still a closed binary containing some closed components and assembled by an undisclosed build process, maybe even incorporating some closed patches. You can get close to building 2009.06 by building b128a, but I doubt you'd be able to replicate both the installation CD and the IPS repository. If you pay Oracle for support and raise a help ticket that leads to a patch, do they send you the source of this patch, or guarantee that the patch will be included in the open source repository (even if it involves a closed binary component)? If Oracle decides to stop producing binary distributions of OpenSolaris altogether to focus fully on providing paid support for closed Solaris, what bang does that give you for the bucks you poured into OpenSolaris? There are indeed many open-source products for which you can pay support (even RHEL, which is sufficiently open-source to be cloned into CentOS and others), but the other key factor to consider is the level of commitment from the support provider and whether you are still tied to a single provider. For OpenSolaris you can only buy support from Oracle, for as long as they can be bothered to provide it. With many other open source products you have a choice of independent support providers you can go to. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] HSDPA baud rate
Hi! I'm using a HSDPA modem on my OpenSolaris but it is slow. I think that a cause for the low speed could be the baud rate selected im my chat file. I've selected 460800... When I tried to use higher values, it connected using 9600. Questions: - Is 460800 the higher rate I can use? - If not, what is the highest baud rate that the system accepts? Thanks a lot!

Sorry about that one. That was over the line, and a personal attack. My only excuse is having a particularly bad day, lack of coffee, and that the target for that remark had been on my nerves for ... blatant fanboi-trolling for the past week. //Svein -- +---+--- /"\ |Svein Skogen | sv...@d80.iso100.no \ / |Solberg Østli 9| PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X|2020 Skedsmokorset | sv...@jernhuset.no / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | sv...@stillbilde.net ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | svein-listm...@stillbilde.net Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +---+--- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |sv...@jernhuset.no | RIPE handle:SS16503-RIPE +---+--- If you really are in a hurry, mail me at svein-mob...@stillbilde.net This mailbox goes directly to my cellphone and is checked even when I'm not in front of my computer.

Re: [osol-discuss] The nearest thing to (forthcoming) news
>> STOP! Oh, for goodness sake. Get over it. Many of us are fans and enthusiasts with personal interest in the future of (Open)Solaris, not (just) dry formal professionals. People will gossip even (or especially) in the absence of formally reliable information. It's normal and natural and just fine. If you're not interested in what fans and enthusiasts have to say then stop reading public "-discuss" lists; if you are interested, then suck it up and learn to cope with a bit of idle chatter. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
