If you can ask a question that has not been answered dozens of times over the years, somebody might wake up and answer it. Or, perhaps, Solaris is dead and we just don't know it yet!

Sunsolve too, for all its faults. In the old days, Sun sent you a grey book once a month, containing bug reports and patch details. More subtly, perhaps the remaining questions are too hard, or more likely too expensive, to answer easily and quickly. Questions involving storage, clustering or enterprise backups, for instance. No, on reflection that is not it. Maybe it is that hardware has now improved to the point where it is fast enough. Software too. I cannot recall anyone in the past five years or so, when we've installed new servers or storage arrays from a variety of suppliers, for different customers, asking how caches or stripe sizes or anything else should be tuned for particular applications: the defaults are good enough for most people, most of the time.

That was 10-15 years ago, in Usenet's heyday. I would say it's more likely that Usenet itself is drying up than any one specific group. And I say this as a Usenet server administrator who has been watching my daily article counts drop drastically over just the past couple of months. > where is the discussion now ? Most likely on the Sun/Oracle Solaris forums and on opensolaris.org. -- Brandon Hume - hume -> BOFH.Ca, http://WWW.BOFH.Ca/ |
