- Sigh... see the letters "FCS" *First* customer shipment. Sun have made it well known
- that this is for people to get experience of Solaris 2.x, but *NOT* for live projects
- unless you are porting. Solaris 2.1 has numerous performance enhancements and will be
- the version that will be shipped *WITH* systems. I do wish people would make a note
- of what status a release is b*before* compalining about performance.
