  1. Many Open Solaris options by andrewzx1 · · Score: 5, Informative · on IBM Derides OpenSolaris as Not-So-Open

    There are a variety of very good Open Solaris distros now:

    Belenix: http://belenix.sarovar.org/belenix_download.html/

    Polaris, Solaris for PowerPC: http://www.blastware.org/

    Nexenta, the Solaris/Ubuntu mix: http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki/Nexenta_OS/

    And of course you can go straight to the official Open Solaris Communities page here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/communities/;jsessio nid=6E46815A1C5CC33AC6470A9439DABAA6#all/

    Fight IBM FUD with Open Solaris Fact.

    It will get released when everything is ready.

    I don't work for Sun but I have been in the OpenSolaris pilot from Day One and I can tell you that I have been working like mad with it as have others. Myself and James Dickens worked night and day over the past weekend to build the OS on an E4000 as well as a LX50 machine for both enterprise class implementations and server room work. You can see the results of the workstation build at Blastwave.org and you need to watch James Dickens blog as well as mine to see progress that happens OUTSIDE of Sun. Not to mention the PowerPC port project at BlastWare which will also make progress when some other bits are in place. There are partnerships in place to work on the PowerPC port and GENESI is behind this as well as others.

    Power is a big deal folks. Think of OpenSolaris on your IBM big iron also.

    So go make a coffee and relax. Its coming real soon now.
