This was the original message to which I responded. I apparently offended a few of us out there. I apologize. However, please stop sending mail to the list about this. Flame my privately, and I'll gladly tear a new black hole in your universe _privately_! Get it off the list! I happen to work for a guy who thinks Solaris is too unstable for production! I personally am very familiar with installing Solaris 2.x and then having to down load patches after patches and install them according to specific uses and needs, etc. I know that the latest CDR has all the latest fixes, but I need _any_ stable CD and I can get the fixes off the net! The difference between doing this for Solaris and doing it for Debian is that Solaris is made by the same company that makes SunOS :-) We also recently dumped all gcc based developement here in the IS group (and other compliers and tools) for Sun's compiler suite. So, I'm _really_ an island now! I never said that Debian should stop being what it is. I don't think we need to choose between being geekware for universities or being commercially viable. We can be both technically superior _free_ software, and have commercial appeal. There's just more work involved :-( Again, my apologies to the list and to any individuals. Richard G.
