Well you are right. But as I said you use it for only one purpose, running in a protected mode where you want to do just a couple of things with high security, like online banking, stock trading, buying on line. You don't need the latest updates, just functional. My trusty LiveCD is about a year old.

For normal use I run OpenSolaris from disk where the account is locked down. Only problem is multimedia which sucks on Solaris unless it's realplayer.

Running it for one or two tasks, I can understand: I wasn't rejecting it out of hand for such a thing. I'm just saying that as a primary OS, meaning a replacement for an OS installed on a hard drive, it wouldn't work.
