Debian Etch moves ever closer, and Ian Murdock - the project's founder - has been interviewed about Debian's politics, its lack of strong leadership, and Ubuntu's ever-growing fame. He feels that Debian is too enveloped in process and politics, making it impossible for anybody to make big decisions, thereby hindering the pace of development. In addition, on his weblog Murdock has announced he is joining Sun.

Interesting comment about getting Solaris to catch up with Linux with regards useability - this is a good thing in my opinion since Linux has clearly benefited over the last few years with the advent of user-friendly distros. Note the impact of Ubuntu and OpenSuse in the more widespread acceptance of Linux as a viable platform for the average user (if such a being exists!)
Not so sure about the emphasis placed on backwards compatibility. Whilst some is obviously needed, I hope this does not come at the expense of design elegance/simplicity and innovation.
On a side note, I await my free Solaris disks with anticipation - I have not tried this OS since v2.6, at which point I really was not up to the challenge!
