[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster 2020.10 text installer ISO Wow!!!!

[Reginald Beardsley]

 With this piece of utter nonsense I am going to depart from the conversation in hopes that the actual subject can be addressed in a sensible fashion at a later time. I have other things to do and it's quite clear that there is no reason to "upgrade" from 2017.10 any time soon. There is far too much that needs to be fixed. When the name "Hipster" appeared it made me uneasy. Unfortunately my concerns have been confirmed.

BTW I'm not running an OI server and have never said I was. SunOS has been my preferred native work environment for 30 years. As I don't wish to gamble with having Solaris 10 u8 connected to the internet, I use OI for internet and casual computing tasks. The shift from an Atom netbox to a Z400 to run OI resulted in my tending to do more casual computing on OI.

McKusic's most recent book arrived yesterday and I wish to find out what he has to say this time. Even if I never use FreeBSD as my working environment I'm sure I'll learn more than enough to justify the time spent.

Except this time you are wrong. You just use experience to beat other people. You have no first hand experience with SquashFS and no knowledge about it. I suggest download a live Linux system from distrowatch, you could choose a random distro, boot it live system, play with it for a while, and realize how behind we are to Linux in term of live system technology.

Yeah yeah I know. You are the best! Others are rubbish! You don't have to learn anything from others but only them learn from you! Yeah, they really did just that. They learned and imported ZFS from you and now their ZoL implementation becomes upstream, your implementation is lagged behind. Yeah, SystemD learned from SMF and FMA, but just superior because they don't use everything XML like yours. Yeah, I know all of that.

Childish behavior like yours only caused the interested people to go away. And I really considered to go away. But the fact is I see I still can do something useful with OI and don't want to give up too soon. Yeah, I know, from my experience on this mail list, give up is most of the time the answers! Sooner or later, I will have to give up. But I don't want to give it up too soon. Got it?
