Ian Murdock on the Nexenta/Debian row.
Ian Murdock’s Weblog :: No good deed goes unpunished: "One of the big Debian stories of the week is that a company called Nexenta Systems has made a version of Ubuntu that’s based on OpenSolaris rather than the Linux kernel. Personally, I find the emergence of a Debian-based OpenSolaris distribution exciting, as it promises to vastly improve Solaris installation, packaging, and overall usability."
..."And, so, I’m more than a little embarrassed at how certain members of the Debian community reacted to Nexenta’s work. The vitriol surprised even me, knowing as much as I know about how, uh, strongly the Debian community feels about certain issues."
I've used Nexenta and it's really very good for a distribution as young as it is. As soon as it integrates ZFS, I will switch my Solaris 10 system to Nexenta.

Yes. I have to admit that I'm really excited about this too.
I looove Debian and everytime I've played with another modern unix distribution I just start missing Debian.
The Linux kernel is really competitive now but having a strong alternative like Solaris seems like a good thing.
I'm almost certainly going to have to find time to play with this one day. I'm curious about how solid the JVM is on this platform. Wonder about GCJ......

Steve! I need your help and I am not sure where to go! I am Loren Strozzi, at lorenzodelamesa@cox.net .....
I have been blogging anonymously to a David Myers blog site, as many of us have. I recently heard he has threatened to literally kill some of us, once he finds out who we are. I just heard today, that he is going to get from Blogger Developers the IPs of us that respond anonymously, so he can loctae us! I truly believe these threats are valid, and DO NOT want him to have my IP address! Do you guys give the IPs out if requested by a blogger? How can I avoid this happening, Steve? My wife is really worried about me and my welfare. Please give me some answers at my home Email, lorenzodelamesa@cox.net
God Bless and thanks, Steve,
