Let's take a closer look at OpenSolaris, particularly its use of ZFS, network problems that people have reported, the use of bash, and differences between OpenSolaris and Solaris and Solaris Express. Note: This is the latest article in our OSNews Article Contest.

Cute, ad hominem.
An article interests me enough to deal with yet another double-opt-in so I can comment and I get attacked for it?
I saw OpenSolaris at JavaOne, it looked shiny. I would like to see it succeed. But putting blinders on won't help. How come the response from Sun and Sun users whenever anyone says "I like it but I had this problem" is "you suck Linux sucks you're a troll we are smarter than you and everyone".
The way you say something matters. Your way is counterproductive. Which clearly shows your intention is to bash the product and the company. If you really wanted it to succeed you would provide productive feed back to the OpenSolaris community instead of ranting on an OSNews thread.
I am a long time Solaris user and administrator. I don't use it as my daily desktop, of course, because that's insanity. But I always have a server handy and I've recommended it to numerous clients before for NFS/application servers, because I knew about API/ABI stability from release to release. Clearly that advantage is going by the wayside.
What ABI/API breakage have you encountered? Give specifics.
For the record I've never posted on this site under any account before. But what do you care if I'm segdenum, Osama bin Laden, or James effin' Bond?
Segdenum is a well known Anti-Sun troll here. It makes a huge difference if you are just him/her masquerading under a different name.

This is pretty pathetic. "
What is pathetic is you joined OSnews today just to troll. Could you be segdenum in disguise? [/q]
