Previewing the Next Solaris OS

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bill-and-scotty's-operating-system dept.

Eric Boutilier writes "Amy Rich has written an excellent Solaris Express (Solaris 10) how-to and general overview. It covers how the program works, using the community web site, and what's new in Solaris Express." Among many new features, the TCP/IP stack has been redesigned, IPv6 support improved, and both NFSv4 and USB 2.0 support added.

  1. Vapor ports on Sun's! by mwfolsom · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Lovely, so now they added support for USB 2. The only problem is that nothing besides their keyboard and mouse will work on it!

    Try getting a common pen drives or external USB hard drive to work on a Sun box with USB - it ain't gonna happen. All this stuff has been working for years on Windows and Linux boxes. I don't know about the rest of /.'ers but I'm sick of Sun's vapor ports.
