[News] Why OpenSolaris Hasn't a Chance Against Linux

GNU/Solaris - dead in the water?

,----[ Quote ]
| Given that OpenSolaris released its first bits of code in June 2005,
| to find the project in this state 18 months down the line is 
| confirmation that starchiness takes a long time to disappear. Eighteen
| months has resonance for the tech industry - it is the period cited in
| Moore's law for the number of transistors on a piece of silicon to
| double. In short, it is a lifetime in the computer industry.
| 
| [...]
| 
| But, as usual, those interested in a marriage between Solaris and
| GNU software do not wait for the corporate wheels to turn at Sun.
| An unofficial GNU/OpenSolaris distribution has reached alpha 6,
| with the company behind it claiming that it contains the best
| software - the SunOS kernel and GNU software. Downloads are
| linked off this page.
| 
| It looks like Sun has missed the boat - again.
