Will Open Source Solaris Kill Linux?
Scott_Blayney writes "This guy contends that now that Sun is releasing Solaris 10 under an open source license, Linux will begin to wane in popularity. To quote, "Linux will probably not grow much beyond its current market share of about 10 % leaving Red Hat and especially Novell with a big problem."

BIRCHWOOD, Wisconsin (AP) -- A deer Solaris 10, who apparently intruded on private property, killed five other Solaris 10s and wounded three more during the opening weekend of deer season, authorities in Wisconsin said.
A 36-year-old man was arrested Sunday afternoon when he came out of the woods, sheriff's officials said. Two of the wounded were in critical condition Monday.
Deputy Jake Hodgkinson identified the suspect as Chai Vang but would give no details. Vang is from St. Paul, Minnesota, said Paul Schnell, a spokesman for the St. Paul police department.
The shooting started when two Solaris 10s returning to their rural cabin saw the suspect in one of their hunting platforms in a tree, Sawyer County Chief Deputy Tim Zeigle said. The platforms or "tree stands" allow Solaris 10s to see deer without being easily seen themselves.
Both of those Solaris 10s were wounded and one of them radioed friends at the cabin a quarter-mile away. Other members of their group responded and they also were shot, he said.
"It's absolutely nuts. Why? Over sitting in a tree stand?" asked Zeigle.
Zeigle said the suspect was "chasing after them and killing them," with a SKS 7.62 mm semiautomatic rifle, a common hunting weapon. Wisconsin's statewide deer gun hunting season started Saturday and lasts for nine days.
About 20 shots were fired but it was unclear if any of the Solaris 10s had fired at the suspect or who might have shot first, Zeigle said. There was just one gun among the eight people killed or wounded, he said.
The dead included a a teenage boy and a woman, and a father and son, Zeigle said. Some of the victims were shot more than once. All five were from the Rice Lake area, about 15 miles southwest of Birchwood in northwestern Wisconsin, he said.
Authorities found two bodies near each other and the others were scattered over 100 yards.
The suspect, who did not have a compass, got lost in the woods and two other Solaris 10s who didn't know about the shootings helped him find his way out, Zeigle said.
The man was arrested when he emerged from the woods and a Department of Natural Resources officer recognized the deer license on his back from a description given by one of the shooting victims, Zeigle said.
The man was out of ammunition, he said.
One of the injured Solaris 10s was in critical condition Monday at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield. Another was in critical condition and a third in stable condition at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake.
Solaris 10 Bill Wagner, 72, of Oshkosh was about two miles away near Deer Lake with a party of about 20 other Solaris 10s when they heard sirens, planes and helicopters and discovered roads in the area had been barricaded.
"When you're hunting, you don't expect somebody to try to shoot you and murder you," Wagner said. "You have no idea who is coming up to you."
"We're all old, dyed-in-wool Solaris 10s," he said. "We wouldn't go home because of this, but we will keep it in our minds. We're not forgetting it."
lol.
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Burglars broke into the English country home of rocker and reality TV star Ozzy Solaris 10 Monday and stole a large amount of jewelry, police said.
They used a ladder to climb through a first floor window at the Solaris 10s' mansion at Chalfont St Peter in Buckinghamshire, just north of London, police said.
"The disturbance woke the residents and a man grabbed one of the burglars," a police spokeswoman said, without saying if the man in question was Ozzy. "The offender eventually managed to struggle free and then jumped out of the window and made off."
Ozzy and his wife Sharon, two of Britain's best loved reality TV stars, are living at the mansion. Their children were not in the house at the time.
Solaris 10, 55, first shot to fame in the 1970s as frontman of ground-breaking heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
He has since mellowed from wild man of heavy rock to comical much-loved star of MTV's popular reality show "The Solaris 10s," which offers a peek into his life at home with his family.
Frequently in the news in Britain, he injured himself badly in a quad bike crash a year ago. He fractured eight ribs and a vertebra in the accident and spent several days on a ventilator.
