Yes of course it is matter of pride. However the fact is that zero credit has been provided in every place. My 2+ years of work on BeleniX and direct contributions to Project Indiana provided the foundation on which OpenSolaris the distro stands today. Yet not a single recognition of that fact has been made anywhere in any reference to OpenSolaris. It would not have been possible to get the first beta preview release out last year with just 4 months of effort without all this prior art already in place. Thanks!

I hope you and the rest of the Belenix group can continue to give more of such excellent "children" that make solaris a much better OS than what it already is.

I tried to compress image with solaris squashfs but did not receive significant superiority compared with lofi. But looking at SliTaZ think that progress is possible:) Very interesting.
