Ok To start off. I have read this entire thread. I want to simply say, there is alot of closed minds in this , as well some brilliant thoughts.
If you really wanted to take OpenSolaris to the wide vast market. 1. Make a developer version and a end user version (ease of use)) 2. Set up support for those end users and charge a small fee for that support (will help give donations to here or whatever you want to do with it) 3. Start off with user friendly videos that show the user the basics of getting started. As well make things easy for the users that migrate from windows to OpenSolaris. (Migrating subject videos). I do agree though that OpenSolrais is more for those that have already worked their way into Linux ( so a advanced video selection/ and or level 2 support (paid of course). This way it gives two ladders of migration. Once people become attached and hooked on the power and stability along with lighting fast reaction compared to windows/ as well no virus that eats at windows core and spyware/adware that takes the fun out of any OS. they will be more apt to learn more advanced methods of using OpenSolaris. This is my 2 cents and 1 dollar for the typing service:) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
