What do you read in this page that suggests that OpenSolaris is being killed off, or that the support levels have in any way been changed? Looks to me like that page was written just over 6 months ago, promising 6 months support at the GA level, 2+1/2 years at the EOV level (which is where we are now) and 2 further years extended support. With a 6 month release schedule, the expectation would be that there's a new release coming out at the time GA support moves to the next phase, with a total of 5 years support. The only interesting thing is that the page I'm looking at hasn't been updated to move 2009.06 out of the GA phase, which the timetable says should have been done a couple of months back. Such statements of expectations for support level over time apply to all products as a matter of course. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
