I have begiu to love the word "polymorphism". With Steven Hahn now gone, and ditto most of Sun's Beijing team members who were primarily responsible for the desktop portion of Solaris/OpenSolaris, it is probably very naive to insist that OpenSolaris, as in the "OpenSolaris liveCD", is not already dead, or at least in an indefinite sleep state. (For those of us who are using OpenSolaris laptops, the experiences abound that a sleeping OpenSolaris laptop may never wake up.) :-( However, when the word OpenSolaris is used as in the context of the "OpenSolaris project", then it is definitely alive and kicking. In many aspects, more vivid than ever. Among many other things, no doubt we are seeing substantially increased interests in Milax, and more particularly, the NexantaOS. Keep in mind that the Solaris proper (Solaris 10u8) is also part of the OpenSolaris project. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
