Posted by timothy on Tuesday August 19, 2008 @02:34AM from the looks-quite-nice dept.

MSa writes "How does OpenSolaris, Sun's effort to free its big-iron OS, fare from a Linux user's point of view? Is it merely a passable curiosity right now, or is it truly worth installing? Linux Format takes OpenSolaris for a test drive, examining the similarities and differences between the OS and a typical Linux distro. If you want to sample the mighty ZFS filesystem, OpenSolaris is definitely the way to go."

ZFS kicks ass.
This is not a troll but how can you get excited by a file system, FFS ?

Can you create directories ? - Check !
Can you write files to it ? - Check !
Can you read files back from it ? - Check !
Can you delete files ? - Check !

Job done !
