| Continuing on my journey of discovery of free, open source software I ran 
| across this gem by complete accident. Let's just say that after about 5 
| minutes I was completely hooked!

Another Look at openSolaris

,----[ Quote ]
| In summary, my overall impression of openSolaris, when I consider it only as 
| a stand-alone system, and look at the installation and desktop, is not bad. 
| Obviously its big advantage is that it is in use at a lot of large companies, 
| in a lot of large data centers, so knowing it and being able to work with it 
| and manage it, would be a plus. Its big disadvantage, though, is that its 
| configuration and management are dramatically different from any other Linux 
| (or Unix) distribution (at least that I am familiar with), so even 
| experienced Linux administrators will have a pretty good sized learning curve 
| to really become proficient with it. From what I have seen of the desktop, 
| the difference at the user level is probably not as large, but I can't be 
| sure yet. The place that it really falls down for me, though, is in 
| co-existance and co-operation with other Linux distributions. It just doesn't 
| do that at all well, and that makes it a royal pain on a multi-boot system.

| Whenever an operating system â however obscure â comes up with a killer
| feature, it's worth sitting up and taking notice. And there's no doubt that
| OpenSolaris' Time Slider feature is heavily armed and dangerous.
