Oracle Solaris 11 Express Released

comay writes "Today Oracle released Solaris 11 Express 2010.11. It includes a large number of new features (PDF) not found in either Oracle Solaris 10 or previous OpenSolaris releases, including ZFS encryption and deduplication, network-based packaging and provisioning systems, network virtualization, optimized I/O for NUMA platforms and optimized platform support including support for Intel's latest Nehalem and SPARC T3. In addition, Oracle Solaris 10 support is available from within a container/zone so migration of existing systems is greatly simplified." Reader gtirloni adds, "Oracle also announced that this is not a beta or preview, but a full, supported release aimed at everybody developing, testing, prototyping or demonstrating applications running on the latest Solaris release (not allowed to be used in production)."

    Wasn't Oracle going to kill all good stuff from Sun according to the slashdot hivemind?

    The good stuff (TM)(Oracle) is not quite dead yet. It's feeling much better. It thinks it might go for a walk.

    It doesn't want to go on the cart.

    It shouldn't be such a baby!

    If what you say is true, then how do you describe Apple?

    More evil then Microsoft, but looking FABULOUS doing it?

    During installation on a V100 it requested the date and would only accept year values 1900-1999.

    Oddly, after reboot it's now displaying the proper date.

    I wouldn't say that they're more evil. They certainly try to be, but their relatively small market share makes it a sad, ineffectual sort of evil.
