What's Coming in Solaris 10
raptor21 writes "Ace's hardware has an article with feature list of technologies in Solaris 10 or whatever it is called today. Interesting stuff like DTrace, FireEngine, military grade security and a new filesystem called ZFS, Zetabyte File System."
More SCO IP?

...is to refer to it as "Solaris X" or "Solaris OS X". That way it can join the ranks of:
Mac OS X
JBuilder X
MegaMan X
And others!
Javascript + Nintendo DSi = DSiCade
Don't forget "military grade security" in that list of buzzwords.
Snake.
Oil.
Goatse.c X?
A hook into Phoenix's DRM BIOS on the x86 ports ?
Just kidding.
wbs.
Huh?
Isn't that where the case is internally wired to explosives so that all the hardware and data will be incinerated if an unauthorized user tries to crack it open?
Maybe the military has various grades of security. They shouldn't, though -- everything should explode. What good is the military if nothing explodes?!
When your only tool is an axe, every problem starts to look like hours of fun.
It was beta, though, so I couldn't talk to them.

don't know Fire Engine TCP/IP, it's way better then the Honda Civic IPX/SPX we use at work.
...and when your only tool is a screwdriver, someone ends up getting screwed...
Profitablity?
I'm sorry. Man, I really need this 4 day weekend coming up.

Can I run the ZFS (Zebra file system) in a RAID-0 configuration?
Thanks,

Not all of these features will be available with the initial release
Yes, I too am releasing an operating system. It will have the ability to run buggy code without compromising any other part of the system(*). It will improve performance of buggy code as well, rewritting it to accomodate your Bugless Needs(TM)(*).
* Not all of these features will be available with the initial release
Apple couldn't do it. Instead they call it "OS/X". (See "Oh Sex" for a pronunciation guide)
RedHat couldn't do it. Instead they call it "Fedora Core 1". (Pronunciation? Don't bother)
but Sun can do it! Think of the possibilities, though...
They could have "Solaris X" as the Unix system, and "Solarux" as their Linux distro! What a way to leverage their brand name onto something that's unrelated, and works even better!
I mean.. talk about SEXY... you'd pronounce it "Solari-Sex"...
Well? Why couldn't they?
Wait.... Maybe, just maybe.... who could say "Solaris X" without saying "Solaris-Sucks"????
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
It looks like Sun is adding compelling new features that make Solaris 10 a more powerful alternative than Linux. I wonder if offering a better product is a valid business model. Seems like suing your competitors and their customers is cheaper (no pesky high-paid engineers) and ,uch better for the stock price. I'd suggest anyone investing SUNW should instead buy into a company with a proven business model like SCOX.
In Soviet Russia, old jokes get tired of YOU !
it's still where my control key should be. i haven't typed a capital letter for ages now and am getting tired of it now.
Yah and it's going to cost your left nutsack, or ovary if your a woman.
75% of all statistics are made up!
So Solaris gets capabilies. Only, what, five years after Linux? And they finally abandon that obsolete slow-as-molasses file system of theirs? The level of technology leadership they are displaying is nothing short if breathtaking!1!!
On a lighter node, the article says their current partitioning scheme is software based. Good to know. Fits well in the general impression I got from them, with their shell script based "high availability" solution, and their industry leading "backup" solutions. There really is no need to know more than this about Sun and their software.
Long live admintool!
Do you live in reality or in a fantasy world? Because it sure looks like reality to me what you just said. I think you forgot to take your Linux pills last night.

Microsoft completely rewrote the core stack for Windows 95.
Why is it that I can't tell whether this was meant to imply progress?

I use the English system. Can't I just write three paragraphs of four sentences of eight words each? It works out about the same.

Considering your maturity is that of a baby, I guess I somehow missed you, eh?

Is there any official definition of what "Military Grade" means? Does the fact that it is used by the Military automatically mean it is "Military Grade".
I'm starting to think that "Military Grade" is about to join the ranks of such descriptors as "Low-Fat", "Broadcast Quality", "New and Improved" and "Internet Ready".
