I think that's probably a question for your local Sun representative.

I'd strongly recommend running OpenSolaris on your desktop for exactly that reason. As for "comfortable," I'm much more comfortable with OpenSolaris on the desktop than S10. OpenSolaris is easy to upgrade, up-to-date, and has no patches to wrestle with. Plus, you have the confidence of knowing that most of Sun's engineering is based on it -- our own desktops, file servers, build machines, and home systems all run it. But if you have an S10 subscription, then talking with your Sun representative about the features you want to see in future updates would probably be the best approach. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
