“ Open source is about community , not economy, not hype, not ... ”

What is OpenSolaris ? OpenSoaris was founded as an Open Source project by Sun Microsystems in June of 2005, and originally created as a clearing house for releasing CDDL licensed Solaris code for others (such as Nexenta and Sine Nomine) to produce Solaris-compatible operating systems Fact: OpenSolaris is the first and only System V-based UNIX to have been released into Open Source.

History Solaris is a proprietary UNIX system by Sun Microsystems. Widely regarded for it's stability Bulk of kernel open-sourced in June 2005 under the CDDL license as OpenSolaris Opensolaris :: Linux+GNU Code available at opensolaris.org Extreme innovation.

Why OpenSolaris: DTrace DTrace is a dynamic troubleshooting and analysis tool first introduced in the Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris operating systems. DTrace is many things, in particular: A tool A programming language interpreter An instrumentation framework DTrace provides observability across the entire software stack from one tool. This allows you to examine software execution like never before. Available on OpenSolaris, Solaris 10, Mac OSX, FreeBSD Web : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/ Examples, Documentation and Technical Articles at the above URL

OpenSolaris 2008.05 !

What is OpenSolaris 2008.05? OpenSolaris 2008.05 is the first official release in a new binary distribution based on the OpenSolaris operating system. It’s the first Opensolaris operating system that’s fully supported by Sun It is Sun’s equivalent to Red Hat’s Fedora or Novell’s OpenSUSE.. or Ubuntu's Ubuntu!

An all new beginning for the Solaris operating system!

&quot;OpenSolaris is a massive advancement for OS development and deployment. It combines the strong foundation of Solaris technologies and tools with modern desktop features and applications developed by open source communities such as GNOME, Mozilla and the Free Software Foundation,&quot; said Stephen Lau, OpenSolaris Governing Board member.

Features of OpenSolaris 2008.05 “ SlimInstall” LiveCD ! Brand new Image Packaging System (IPS)‏ Improved Caiman installer GNOME 2.22 interface, the very same that powers Ubuntu Hardy Heron’s. Many new applets / configuration UI's It is the first OS to feature ZFS as its default file system ZFS, Zones, Dtrace, Sun XvM enabled The version of DTrace comes with a graphical user interface called Dlight.
