But it would be fun, help to generate a community perhaps, and is
already done with local LUGs as well as much larger communities
(freeshell.org--thousands and thousands of shell users).  With zones,
roles, resource management, projects, etc., Solaris sounds like it is
a better platform than the alternatives for hosting a diverse
community environment.  Also, somebody from Sun responded and said
they were looking into it.
