Weird, I hated SS1 but love SS2 still.

How much of that is down to hardware support? I mean, a set of freeBSD
iso's (which I love) is about half that, each set supports a single
architecture, and the hardware support is about as minimum as you can
get (I still can't use half the hardware I have, and I haven't done a
serious upgrade in almost 3 years). Solaris for Intel is like what,
3-4 gigs now for the installer? I seem to remember needing 5 or 6 CD's
to install that a year or so ago. 2.6 gigs for the installer for an OS
that supports multiple cpu's and every kind of hardware you can imagine
doesn't seem that big of a deal to me. And really, even if the install
itself has a huge footprint, I'm more interested in kernel security and
efficient device access than hard drive space.

Never has and never will. They are too dumb to get it.

Do American's think the government should intervene here? Has the
government given the ****wits a legal pen (for the right price) and told
them they can write up any laws they like?

WTF?

Might be time for other governments to band together and form their own
software organization. All participating countries give their citizens this
OS FREE. I nominate Russia to get the ball rolling - a good communist
country! I think it's about time certain American and other capitolistic
country's businesses were conquered and dominated by communism!

Go commies Go!

My guess is that piracy will go thru the roof - as it should.

Go Robin Hood!
