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
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.

Profitablity?
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)(*).

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.

You have more than one nutsack?

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
This is a Solaris discussion, Every competent Solaris admin has a spare nutsack as a hotswap.

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".
