Previewing the Next Solaris OS

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.

  6. Solaris touched my kernel liberally! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    solaris touched my kernel liberally. she strapped me in to her solarmobile and she couldnt keep her offensive hands off of me. she was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told solaris the city would not approve of an Operating system touching an underage penguin for free.
    it doesn't help at all that solaris has been spun out after touching everyone's junk. she can hardly see straight after touching SCO's diseased kernel. how is she possibly going to explain this to the city when she doesnt help the next operating in distress? they'll make her drop trou in front of the whole city again. there it is. the mayor just called and asked why solaris hasn't responded. she has to go.

  9. Do not underestimate ".NET" by mosel-saar-ruwer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You only run a Microsoft operating system if you want to run the programs that come with that platform or if you want to use cheap PC hardware as a server.

    I wouldn't underestimate ".NET" [whatever it is] if I were you.

    I don't know if I've ever seen this much excitement in the developer community in re: a new enterprise platform [to include the circa 1995/1996 hype over Java or HTML].

    The people I know who've played with it [including the most rudimentary parts, such as ASP.NET] are very impressed.

    Yes, there are probably individual products that can perform better on isolated tasks than will the competing .NET solutions [for instance, I'd be loathe to ditch a Novell Directory Services infrastructure for an Active Directory infrastructure], but, on balance, .NET is where it's at.

    Well, there and maybe Bangalore.
