| Solaris has always had a very monolithic structure. The basic idea behind
| Project Indiana was to take the Linux distribution model, which allows for
| very flexible and agile incorporation of open source technologies, and apply
| that same thinking to OpenSolaris, thereby pulling in more open source
| technologies.

| I got an email from a professor today asking for some input on Java and
