[osol-mktg] OpenSolaris counter

[Glynn Foster]

Hey,

FWIW, this came up during our BOF 'Open Source and Sun' session at OSCON
[1] - people wanted to know what sort of hardware configuration was
needed to install OpenSolaris. A lot of the time, the non-availability
of this information stopped them from downloading the ISOs. On top of
this, it also seems that people are still confused about how to get it,
what the various release cycles are, and how they can keep their machine
up to date from a patch point of view.
