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.

    It covers how the program works

    But can you run this program called Solaris 10 on Linux? Or do you need wine for that?

    Nice, Solaris is getting devfs support . . . just as it is marked deprecated in Linux 2.6

  3. suninstall by Rice-Pudding · · Score: 3, Funny
    The Solaris Web Start command-line interface has been replaced with suninstall to improve usability.

    Did anyone else read this as s-uninstall? I was wondering why it was so important to include an uninstall option right away, and to feature it so prominently in the article. :-)
