Ehm, apropos Solaris Express and OpenSolaris: what in case someone likes
to patch system with so critical security patches, annoying bugs ...?
I'm using Solaris 10 11/6 because it has regular patches. I do not like
idea of reinstalling whole OS every couple of weeks. :-\

It will be good thing if development versions of Solaris has patches.
Consider Red Hat/Fedora case: Fedora is esentially development version
od RHEL, but it still has software updates, so one can use it as desktop
without risking much.
