[indiana-discuss] what i'd like to see

[Robert Gstoehl]

Good morning,

My 2 cents in terrible broken english or what I like about linux, debian 
in particular:

Stable, Testing, Unstable, -Branches: Depending on the environment I can 
go bleeding edge with lots of bling or choose stable with longer release 
cycles.

Package Management: Every bit in the distro can be managed with apt-get 
& co. No difference between kernel, modules and userspace. Installing a 
new kernel needs just an apt-get install, keeping a server up to date: 
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, installing a desktop environment: 
apt-get install gnome | kde | whatever...

Supported Hardware:
Good laptop and power management (suspend, hibernation, ..) support is a 
must if you want people to deploy solaris on laptops and workstations 
and not just expensive, big and loud sun fires..

Bling:
I don't want to offend anyone but: A solaris 10 gnome desktop looks 
grotesque. The gnome theme looks clumsy, the java cup in the top right 
corner of a mozilla hurts my eyes. The same with the solaris installer 
and lot's of other "artwork" coming from sun.  The first impression 
matters.

People love Compiz / Beryl & co.

Otherwise keep the good work up and don't fear the penguin,

Robert
