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. :-\

Ah, wonderful! If exploit for ssh, sendmail or nfsd or ... comes in a
wild, I just need to buy 1-2 disks, create mirror of root on them,
download new Solaris Express and perform upgrade of the entire OS and
reboot in new root. What an elegant, cost and time effective solution.
Brilliant.

Rant, rant...

Maybe. But is it wrong? Do you actually call the update method
elegant? How do you update just, for example, ssh to the latest
version of Solaris? Where are the patches?
