Why should the first effort be server based platforms when the majority of the problems Intel/Sun based are laptop issues, i.e. wifi and wimax drivers. Laptop install support etc. Or is the primary opensolaris discussion based on server hardware technology that could be delivered by Sun? ---Bob This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
