Open Solaris 2009.06 - Slowly getting there
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Solaris is getting better and more
| refined by the release, there's no doubt about
| that. Small problems are gradually yet
| persistently solved. This is extremely
| encouraging.
|
| On the other hand, compared to most Linux
| distros, Open Solaris is still about 2-3 years
| behind when it comes to usability and hardware
| support. More programs would be nice, as well
| as the ability to solve common desktop usage
| problems more easily. 64-bit architecture
| would also be great, considering the fact Sun
| pioneered the 64-bit usage.

Review: openSolaris 2008.11

| Overall, it appears that openSolaris is suitable
| for someone whoâs doing the basics on a UNIX or
| UNIX-like system. Youâve got Firefox, Pidgin,
| OpenOffice.org. But there is the weird file
| structure and the small repository. So I feel
| that itâs perhaps worth checking out, but I
| canât really recommend it above Linux or even
| BSD. Iâd say, if you need it for work (and a
| lot of businesses use Solaris), definitely get
| openSolaris so you can get familiar with the
| platform. Otherwise, stick to Linux or BSD and
| youâll have a lot more support for a wider array
| of programs and standard POSIX directories.
