That's very impressive indeed. But how do you handle the lack of timely security fixes on this OS? I suppose your machines are running on a separate network which is inaccessible from the "outside world" ? Oliver From: Udo Grabowski (IMK) [udo.grabow

Hello, while setting up a fresh oi_151a7 system, I encountered a number of questions related to repository management: 1. In the default install of oi_151a7, the opensolaris.org publisher is still included as "enabled" and "sticky". Is there any sense in that? Any good reason not to disable i
