Is Oracle getting ready to kill OpenSolaris?
,----[ Quote ]
| People outside of IT seldom think of Oracle as a Linux company, but it is.
| Not only does Oracle encourage its customers to use its own house-brand clone
| of RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), Oracle Unbreakable Linux, Oracle has long
| used Linux internally both on its servers and on some of its desktops. So,
| what does a Linux company like Oracle wants to do with its newly purchased
| Sun's open-source operating system, OpenSolaris? The answer appears to
| be: "Nothing."

Free Operating Systems That Aren't Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's a survey of other operating systems that have also been built as open
| source products, are free to use, and generally come with little to no
| restrictions over their use. Many of them have taken strong cues from the way
| Linux has developed, typically in the collections of userland tools that are
| available. Some owe very little to Linux, apart from the general development
| philosophy, and are not architecturally related to Linux in any significant
| way.

OpenSolaris: No Standing Still On A Moving Train
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun doesn't have a full-blown methodology for this yet, but they are starting
| to offer a way towards it: use OpenSolaris to get people's hands dirty with
| the new features, and even let them run it in a production environment.
| (Little-known fact: people with Solaris support contracts can substitute
| OpenSolaris for the regular version and still get Sun support.) Then let them
| move to the next real version of Solaris, which maintains binary
| compatibility with previous editions -- something Sun sweated blood to make
| sure of -- and continue where you left off.
