OpenSolaris: Nice, But Not There Yet
,----[ Quote ]
| After using OpenSolaris for a day, some things have really become clear to
| me. For one, OpenSolaris is a new system, and one that does not have all the
| functionality found in other Linux distributions. I won’t go as far to say
| that it is bad system. After using it in VirtualBox, I couldn’t resist
| installing it on my computer. It works rather well, but there is no available
| driver for my printer (which is found in Ubuntu) or drivers available for my
| wireless card or graphics card. The system is also a little slow, especially
| when loading a web page. There are also only a few over 1000 programs in the
| repositories, compared to the 24,000+ programs in Ubuntu’s repositories. I
| also could not install my printer, which is an HP Deskjet 3845 (all that is
| missing is an hplip package). Seeing as this is the first release, there are
| bound to be bugs and missing features.

OpenSolaris 2008.05: Notes from the field
,----[ Quote ]
| As good as I believe OpenSolaris 2008.05 to be, this is its first big
| release, and it does have problems. It will be interesting to see how quickly
| and in what manner they are addressed.

Thoughts on CommunityOne and OpenSolaris
,----[ Quote ]
| Ultimately, I can’t help but think that the problem that Sun is trying to
| solve with OpenSolaris is not a technical one, but one of control.
| Specifically, the company is not ready to cede control over its operating
| system to the community at large, and so it is instead trying to build a
| community around OpenSolaris rather than joining the larger Linux effort.

That last one from Novell hits the nail on the head. Novell too, however, tries
to control GNU/Linux using Mono and copyrights, as well as that software
patent deal.

What Sun was trying to do with Open Solaris
,----[ Quote ]
| So that explains why it’s take three long years to try to get basic open
| source development tools (such as putting Open Solaris source code in a
| distributed SCM located outside of the Sun firewall) for Open Solaris. It was
| never was Sun’s intention to try to promote a kernel engineering community,
| or at least, it was certainly not a high priority for them to do so.
