I've been scratching my head as to why update manager has been failing to find any updates and I downloaded the latest "Oracle Solaris" to see if that would fix things.. only to find I can't even register my solaris machine anymore.. :-( I'm a manager now.. been a developer, dba, and system admin.. Solaris has been with me on and off for 30 years.. I've kept it at home so I could keep my unix skills up.. Paying $1000 a year doesn't make any sense to me for home use.. would it really kill them to just push security patches? It's truly sad what Oracle has done to Solaris.. I guess I'll look to Linux.. I hear Ubuntu is pretty good.. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
