Triple Boot, Part 1: Planning
,----[ Quote ]
| Brian wrote up his experience getting OpenSolaris 2008.05 to work in a
| dual-boot environment with OS X. There are also some excellent resources
| available in the Getting Started With OpenSolaris 2008.05 documentation. But
| none of those described exactly what I wanted : a triple-boot system with
| Windows Vista, OpenSolaris 2008.05, and Ubuntu 8.04. This series of blog
| entries will describe the process I used to get all three installed and
| working on my system.

No GPL, so why not Linux?
Why I am Leaning Toward FreeBSD
,----[ Quote ]
| FreeBSD has many, many advantages. It is a completely free, stable, secure,
| and well supported operating system. It has lots of applications available
| and can even run Linux applications. Although it is not as popular as Linux,
| and may not be as well supported by third-party vendors as Linux, it is a
| very good option for anyone if they can overcome these things.

OpenSolaris still has some Linux copying to do
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSolaris 2008.05 packs in most of what Linux users are likely to expect -
| GNOME, easy installation, good software update tools and more - and then adds
| some extras on top. Although OpenSolaris isn't quite ready for prime time,
| when it is, it'll be a nice possible alternative to Linux.
|
| Because it ships with a number of developer-focused tools that most desktop
| users probably don't care about - the ZFS filesystem, DTrace,
| and "containers" - it may not be all that compelling for average users.

OpenSolaris 2008.05, and other places the sun don't shine
,----[ Quote ]
| For the desktop Linux user who is simply curious about UNIX derivatives, we'd
| have to advise taking a pass on this release, anyway. We'd probably tell you
| to check out OpenBSD, or FreeBSD, for a shot at a more successful change of
| pace.

Does OpenSolaris Matter?
,----[ Quote
| I'm not sure.
|
| Sun first announced OpenSolaris in 2005 but they keep finding ways to
| announce 'first releases'. Yesterday was one such release.
