[OpenIndiana-discuss] Solaris Express server name broadcast

Sat Mar 5 22:25:18 UTC 2011

We all (OpenIndiana and Solaris users) are using technology created by 
Sun. Why not be just helpful? There are Oracle employees here at the 
list providing very helpful information - you call the names. There are 
Linux and FreeBSD users here. Why kick them off? Why setting a hostile 
attitude here?

You might reasonably expect those directions to start with: go back to the fork and go the other way, and, failing that, to ask a traveller who's taken the same fork as you. That response doesn't want for courtesy or respect.

Since SEx 11 worked - and has worked reliably so far - I decided  to use that for a while, in hope OpenIndiana would become usable for my purposes. In the process I learnt everything I know on *nix, and on Solaris in particular. Obviously this is not much.

One of the criteria I'll use will surely be the willingness of people to provide help to neophytes. Back to my initial concern, I fail to see why a question on how to best backup a ZFS server could be off-topic.
