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.

    Opinions are just as divided over this OS as any other. Posting "It's nice" "no really" type comments is a waste of everyones time.

    Is that on one of the Solaris install CDs? Or is it just available from sunfreeware?

    A couple years back, I worked at a mid-size datacenter that used Sun boxes almost exclusively (Solaris 2.6 and 7), and as far as I remember, we had to manually install bash (meaning, there wasn't an option during install to install it).
