    This is not penguin news, this is about kde on solaris.

    I call bad slashdot form.

    Admitting ignorance means admitting weakness. You are inviting the moderators to thin the herd.

    What you are supposed to do is do a quick Google search on "Solaris Zones", spend five minutes getting a superficial idea of what they are. Then you are supposed to write a post that dismisses them as useless because your favorite operating system doesn't have them, but instead has some other capability (e.g. xen). Your argument need only stand up to a level of scrutiny that similar to your "Solaris Zones" Google search.

    By the way, what's Lilith been up to these aeons?
