Hello,
guys, can we stop debating something that is not related to OI on this mailing
lust?
Of course it is related to OI and there is no other list to mention it
on actually, that is closer to the topic.
I don't think asking people not to discuss and talk is positive
community influence, asking people to shut up is an negative influence.
I know that many people still care about Solaris and what happens to it, but
please get over it.
Oi iteslf uses IPS for packages, uses Xorg and many other things are
shared with Oracle Solaris open source released components.
It is that Solaris supported nature and shared code up to illumos birth,
makes it very interesting topic for OI/illumos, sharing in most cases
users pool, where some people might run illumos/Openindiana on some
machines or Solaris on others.
It's been 7 years since illumos and Solaris separated and illumos chose
different path. illumos/OpenIndiana has it's own future and instead of debating
Oracle business decisions, go search illumos bug tracker and report / fix bugs,
write blog posts about illumos/OpenIndiana etc.
On the other hand, if there is no reaction to media bashing on Solaris,
next time, random writer start to bash OI or illumos there would be no
one to stop the flood of Linux drones.
illumos and Openindiana does not compete with Solaris, they each have
they use cases and support models.
Linux is illumos competition and Linux drones are bashing everything
non-Linux on internet news comments, so there is even more then need to
react to media bias.
I would actually rather select Oracle Solaris then some corporate Linux
distro if I am forced on having dead-serious mission-critical support
contracts.
Recognizing benefits of Linux, but even after more then 8 years since
Opensolaris 2009.06, usability for serious use of any Linux distribution
is far below Openindiana/illumos.
Feel free not to respond if find topic uninteresting.
For younger audience directing not to talk on public mailing lists is
out of scope of administration and forums are not the mailing lists.
Messages/posts can not go back and be deleted and one can not "lock
thread" or topic, so that is what one needs to get over, getting away
people's freedom of expression and freedom of talk.
