Hello all I?m sorry to cancel my participation at the LinuxDay in Dornbirn. I?m sorry to cancel this not because of sickness, but, as you probably could see/read, because I can?t "support" opensolaris at the moment. I have problems to say yes to opensolaris.
This not only because the wife?s computer crashed somewhen. It's difficult to install additional programs, and I have troubles to burn cds with brasero and so on.. The trouble with burning CDs was that I could burn a music CD, no prob. Then, when I wanted to burn another CD the next day, brasero wrote that there were only 13min. music free on the (blank, inserted) CD. I could burn the music, but there was nothing on it. With k3b from the KDE project, everything is fine. And with linux now I can choose a program, install it and it works. With opensolaris I can try compile programs with pkgbuild, sometimes it works, sometimes not because of missing spec-files. So, what I will say is that I, at the moment, can't do advertisement for a product which I have (many) problems with. It wouldn't be good for the osol-project. Debian is working very well. I will draw me back for a couple of weeks now. I'm really sorry, but I can't give support at the Linuxday with such a negative feelings. It's better for the Linuxday, if there are fewer people who have positive feelings then if one is there with a negative feeling. It would probably destroy much. Nevertheless I like the opensolaris project; but at the moment I have the time to invest time for it, as I also do other things as computing. I will also install the newest versions of osol on my Virtualbox on my laptop and track the project. But at the moment, it's better not to be active. I hope you can understand my decision! With friendly greetings Daniel
