[indiana-discuss] Standards ? An derivative proposal.

[Josh Lange]

I've found many of the sun tools to be out of date, and far less functional
than their gnu counterparts.

I personally want to use Solaris for its stability. I've found the linux
kernel a little immature, and prone to panics, and deadlocks, and random
issues, especially when dealing with network protocols/network file
systems/raid, and a few other categories.

What has historically held me off of Solaris was what I considered a poor
userland (and not to mention, package manager), and I'm happy to see Indiana
taking steps to fix these categories.
