The duty to maximize profits for investors is clear. The duty to keep what sounded rather like a promise, but perhaps was never actually _made_ to anyone but only appeared in an internal memo, well, I'm sure we'd all want to say that was just as _morally_ binding, but enforceable? You do the m

Has the code for Solaris 11 been released as was once the plan? If so, I suppose that features can always get moved over into OI (and from there into FreeBSD, etc). If Solaris is now closed-source for good, then all bets are off, though. Mike ___ OpenIn

Can we run OI on UltraSPARC? I thought it was still only x86? I have a number of old SunFire V250s, V240 and V440 that I'd be interested in keeping going for a while longer yet. I had missed the notice about the official Solaris 11 not working on UltraSPARC III/IV. On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 4:25

Too much a noob to be able to figure this out for myself. I see what appears to be a serious lot of new stuff in release notes of oracle-solaris 11. Can anyone compare that new OS with oi espeically considering the usage being a home nas. (So maybe not needing many of the sol 11 enhancements but
