OpenSolaris update
Well, it seems OpenSolaris.com fixed most of the issues I was bitching about. So, it now takes 2 clicks to get an OpenSolaris iso. I haven't used it for too long but I figure I'd post this before someone inevitably points out how behind the times I am. These here tubes move fast! Other than that it seems an old version of X is being used as I experience nasty refresh shake at work. There was/is also an issue with the installation which would kick one back to a Grub prompt. This turns out to be faulty media from Lead Data Inc at least in this case. A freebsd iso worked fine, but I dumped the rest of the cd's as Google juice reported other people having problems with said manufacturer. When I get sometime i'll play around with OpenSolaris a bit more, seems like a solid effort was made to put together something usable.

The Myth that Content Management is easy
The Myth
Content Management is easy. You download one of the numerous systems available, plug-in your data. Something magical happens (???) and out comes a professional looking and operating website. This obviously manages all of your content from all different sources with ease. All you have to do is make a template and you're done! If this sounds like something you've heard and are suspiciously weary of. You should be, because it's all snake oil! If it was that easy I would probably quit my job and go study law. Since it is not, let us continue first by giving a brief background on what content management is.
