You don't get it: It is tough for Indiana, not for me. What do you know about conary?? Then don't talk to me in this manner please.

But it appears that you don't fully see what has motivated me to get as many Xorg drivers working on SPARC-OpenSolaris, as possible: It is not only about performance and features, it is also a question of emancipation. Xsun cannot be re-distributed, Xorg can. Therefore I helped Sun to make SPARC-Indiana usable on popular legacy platforms, in case it ships one day. > for SPARC then take a look at the price of an ATX mobo with onboard > nVidia 7k series graphics, and add a low end quad code chip and 4G of > RAM.

Certainly I could even that: Because most responsible for SPARC's slow and now faster and faster death is nobody else than Sun themselves, see their pricing strategies, their marketing policies, and the channels they (try to) use to sell something. And when you then read that this stuff ships in 2 to 3 business weeks, then the deal is perfect, isn't it? > > Please, take a good look at how your spending your time with your SPARC > OpenSolaris.

If you just want a rescue CD with Indiana's err BeleniX's live media framework, then you can use it already on all sun4u and sun4v systems from Ultra2 to T2 : http://www.martux.org/SPARC_distro_incl_Xorg7.2/ It includes Xorg, but can be controlled via RSC or serial as well. But don't flog the dead horse of graphics - just make sure that > VNC or FreeNX works well out of the box. Okay, good, noticed. Vnc works well already, but the LiveDVD isn't out yet, due to problems with GDM. We may simply use KDM instead, as KDE 3.4 is also on disk. > The number of people who will ever care about your graphics project is > small *and getting smaller with time*.

Then we have conary. If you are not interested in those things, then it is your own good (or bad) choice. But don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do. After you bring out your own distro we can chat again. p.s. Thanks for the hint about SPARC's death. I learned something new today. Maybe this is the reason, why Natamar is also half-finished already for x86/x64. Based on Indiana, err BeleniX. Thank you for speaking up against me. Thank you for harming the OpenSolaris project by speaking out against conary, w/o having a clue of what it is and CAN. Martin
