What’s wrong at OpenSolaris

,----[ Quote ]
| Notice that? No SPARC support: on an OS product backed by Sun.
|
| And beyond that, what does the curious but uncommitted user see here? an 
| illogical “extra” in the first paragraph and a sloppy mistake in the second - 
| the package repository isn’t on the OpenOffice site, they’re trying to cite 
| an example of what’s available.    
| 
| Why did this happen? I think it happened for the same reason that companies 
| like Red Hat, IBM, and Microsoft have been having a wonderful time spreading 
| FUD about the CDDL and the inevitability of some future switch to GPL3: Ian 
| Murdock.

OpenSolaris 2008.05, and other places the sun don't shine

| 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.

There was some buzz for a few days, but it's over now.

| Sun first announced OpenSolaris in 2005 but they keep finding ways to
| announce 'first releases'. Yesterday was one such release.
