I'd suggest there is a difference between logos and mascots.
Logos tend to represent products and organisations, mascots represent
communities and lend personality.
In other words, I think a pig is a mascot, not a logo.

Hi Georg,
I believe that adding the Solaris chainloader entry in the Ubuntu Grub
won't work.
The Grub that ships with Feisty won't allow for this, so you need to
acivate the Solaris partition, and add the Ubuntu chainloader entry to
Solaris' /boot/grub/menu.lst and boot from there.
Happy play
Hi,
As far as I know, Developer Edition contains NetBeans and Sun Studio
(that is, they install immediately after Solaris Express) and, as you
point out, the installation is slightly more graphical.
Express gives you the whole GNOME environment.

The OpenSolaris marketing community has never done anything on the lines

Agreed. From the articles in question:

Not preempting Laura or Sara, I'd offer that posting a blurb on your

similar), and you could possibly embelish it with a button:

Of course there is interest! Thanks for all your thoughts and offers.

Understood.
I'm thinking about people migrating from Linux, but rather, present
Linux users. I think that an obvious starting place for a Linux user
who visits OpenSolaris.org but does not consider themselves an
"immigrant" might be a good idea. So I was not suggesting a hostile
act, but a
Just to clarify: I'm don't mean the value of OpenSolaris as a whole (!),
but the value of a specific discussion group within OpenSolaris.org.
When I talk about a wider audience, I mean that there are a lot of
people who have little or no consciousness of OpenSolaris or any of its
distributio
In my opinion, a big part of the value of this community will be that it
helps to explain the relevance of OpenSolaris to the wider Linux
community. Extending the scope beyond Linux immigrants could threaten
that.
