A plea and advice. I suspect I am in the minority who has found solaris then OSOL and now OI and now uses it as a desktop system and small server - CIFS for kids home work. But coming from linux use over last 12 years have found it rather good -feels stable, limited packages but what you generally need and some ZFS features -time slider/snapshots, easy back ups and easy cifs.
My plea is please not to ignore the desktop/home user, yes we are in the minority (correct me if I am in the wrong) but if we want to use a "solaris" based unix there currently seems no where else to go. I do like the idea of a stable branch and the idea of security update so at least the core system is up to date but please ensure we can still access a reasonably stable desktop. The advice please is if the overall plan is to move completely to a server based distro and use as a desktop OS is limited should I just stop wasting my time and step off now and return to linux.
