Debian and its clones 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.

As for the original article; it talks about usability - nothing to do with GNU or anything, usability; that'll probably include system management tools, GUI improvements, and the likes; if Solaris were deficient because of technical issues with the OS, then they would be in dire straights, but Solaris is the most technologically advanced operating system out there; the problems that exist with it are trivial that can be fixed with a little man power and community drive.


Yes, and I think most Solaris admins would agree that while Sun's administration documentation is second to none, sometimes you want a tool to help you get the job done.
