    OpenSolaris as the basis to Solaris 11, or simply dropping Solaris 10 and going with OpenSolaris as the primary OS would have brought a more modern environment and significantly improved package management and patching while still maintaining the expected stability from Solaris. Oracle seems to prefer to keep Solaris archaic. They just killed their best beta platform.

    Oracle got rid of the free to download and use Solaris 10 as well. Sun moved that way to entice developers to develop and test on their platform. Oracle, instead of continuing that to keep developers, moved Solaris back to a pay only. Why would anyone pay to develop or test on Solaris when the competitors are free and just as good? Who is going to buy Solaris when the only thing tested on it is Oracle Database? Oracle is shooting itself in the foot.

  21. Re:Why the silence? on OpenSolaris Governing Board Closing Shop? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure they'd find plenty of customer still willing to use Solaris proper

    Are they willing to pay for it though? Oracle removed the ability to download and use Solaris 10 for free. This isn't 10 or 15 years ago, Linux and *BSD are more then capable of doing most of the loads you would throw at Solaris an RHEL has the cooperate support and a sane company backing it.

    Oracle seems to be looking at Solaris the same as they look at their Database product. Oracle Enterprise Database, even for all its irritations and faults does get the job done very well and does shine against it's competitors, Solaris doesn't have that same position any more. There are many just as good products out there.

    Oh, we unfortunately are not using ZFS on FreeBSD because it's not as stable, but it was the Jails that pushed us to FreeBSD instead of Linux which is what runs most of our other systems.

  23. Sad on OpenSolaris Governing Board Closing Shop? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Oracle seems determined to destroy everything they acquired from Sun. We had 2 OpenSolaris machines since Zones and ZFS are just hot shit and several SunFire servers. We're moving the OpenSolaris installs to FreeBSD and are probably going to be looking at HP or IBM machines in the future.

    Why enable a workaround when there is a native way to support it? PAE does also technically have a performance impact, your average desktop user isn't exactly going to understand that.
