I smell more astroturfing. This continual crabbing about 'Linux doesn't support binary drivers the right way' has been debunked many times. It's just another attempt to discredit Linux and to try to take advantage of GPL code without having to honor the GPL. |

> Will NexentaOS (GNU/OpenSolaris) succeed as a Desktop? Absolutely not. Talk ablut a kludge, that whole project is just nuts. |

"smell more astroturfing. This continual crabbing about 'Linux doesn't support binary drivers the right way' has been debunked many times.

I don't think the way the solaris kernel does somethings is the right way. |
