OpenSolaris 2008.5

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSolaris shows a lot of intriguing features with this release. It isn't 
| perfect, and it's lack of support of many audio subsystems required for full 
| multimedia (such as the M685's Intel 82801G (ICH7) high definition audio 
| controller) makes this release more suitable for OS geeks and developers than 
| the average Joe Sixpack. But it's definitely a release worth investigating 
| further, and certainly one worth keeping an eye on for future development.

OpenSolaris Finally Hits the – um – Shelves?

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSolaris has been in development for the past three years, and numbers 
| more than 60,000 contributors in it's community, a small fraction of whom are 
| on the payroll at Sun. The distribution is — obviously — based on Solaris, 
| Sun's flagship OS, with the bulk of the code-base comprised of original 
| Solaris code released under the Common Development and Distribution License. 
| Solaris is, in turn originally developed from Unix System V, Release 4 — the 
| system which forms the basis of the litigation between SCO and Novell, which 
| went to trial last week.
