My comment was not directed at anyone in particular, but more broadly scoped to include various posts that seem to keep holding up Linux like it's the holy grail. I don't need another Linux option. I do have an interest/need in something better than Linux, e.g. zfs, dtrace, and other enterprise grade features that Linux presently lacks.
Hi Linux basher. BTW, I don't remember anybody holding up Linux like it's the holy grail. They were holding Ubuntu up like it's the holy grail. FYI, there are plenty of Linux sysadmins that despise Ubuntu just as much as you despise Linux.
ZFS an 'enterprise grade' feature now is it? So what are you going to do when Oracle pushes out btrfs for Linux with the self same functionality that ZFS has and maybe more? Jump ship? The rumour mills have this story about Oracle doing a dtrace for Linux. Sounds fun?
You have missed the point of those posters 'holding up Ubuntu like it is the holy grail'. They would like to see OpenIndiana get more exposure and hopefully attract the attention of more developers to keep it from dying. They have good intentions. Only problem is that most people who do use OpenIndiana, including idiots like me (thanks Garrett), use it for server purposes and not general desktop use like Ubuntu.
