Ehm, apropos Solaris Express and OpenSolaris: what in case someone likes
to patch system with so critical security patches, annoying bugs ...?
In the case of Solaris Express, you install a newer build.
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. :-\
You don't need to. Use either the Upgrade option, or (better) Live Upgrade.
It will be good thing if development versions of Solaris has patches.
I disagree. The fixes that eventually go into patches go in to the next
development builds first, so if you want the latest fixes, running the
latest build of Solaris Express is the best way to do so.
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.
If you rely on stuff like Blastwave and Sunfreeware, installing the latest
versions from there is supported.
