OpenSolaris back on track.
,----[ Quote ]
| It would appear that the OpenSolaris project
| is back on track. This is a bit long overdue.
| The acquisition of Sun by Oracle left a few
| projects in questionable states. It was
| unknown as to whether Oracle would continue
| supporting these open source projects.
| OpenSolaris was included in that list.

[osol-discuss] OpenSolaris build 134a has closed
,----[ Quote ]
| Those of us feeling left in the dark might be
| pleased to know that build 134a, the first
| candidate for the next stable release of
| OpenSolaris, has been tagged in Oracle's
| release branch (in project jargon: "snv_134a,
| the first respin of 134, closed earlier this
| week"). A packaged build should be available
| for internal QA soon, but even if it passes,
| it will be while some time before the release
| can be published to the external repo.

| Occasionally I get an interesting, off-the-
| beaten-path suggestion on the Request A Review
| page. This time around somebody suggested
| doing a review of OpenSolaris. Why do a review
| of OpenSolaris? Well why the heck not? Itâs
| always fun to check out a different kind of
| desktop operating system. Sometimes you can
| find an unexpected jewel when you least expect
| it. Is OpenSolaris a jewel? Iâll try to answer
| that question in this review.

[ogb-discuss] Call for Action
,----[ Quote ]
| So unless you can figure out how having
| OpenSolaris running on millions of devices
| everywhere ultimately translates to revenue, I
| doubt Oracle mgmt will be impressed. Business
| is only a popularity contest when people vote
| with dollars.

Solaris Licensing Changes: The Real Story
,----[ Quote ]
| Letâs move on to people that run Solaris on non-
| Sun servers: No Solaris for you, not yours!
| Items 1 and 6 make it clear that there is no
| possible way to legally run Solaris on non-Sun
| servers. Period. End of story.

OpenSolaris free CDs halted
,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle has stopped the free OpenSolaris CD
| shipping program. A posting on the OpenSolaris
| website discussion mailing list by Oracle's
| Derek Cicero says the related links and icons
| have been removed from the opensolaris.org
| site. Downloads of OpenSolaris are still
| available from the OpenSolaris downloads site.

OpenSolaris on System z mainframe hangs in the balance
,----[ Quote ]
| The future of OpenSolaris on the IBM System
| z mainframe seems shaky at best now that
| Oracle has acquired Sun Microsystems, but
| the platform's supporters are still
| pleading their case.

OpenSolaris, Still Open-Source Software Ready to Serve
,----[ Quote ]
| ZFS is an advanced filesystem that offers
| high performance, near-zero administration,
| file integrity, scalability, reduced costs
| and backward compatibility. Without going
| into a lengthy and complicated discussion
| of storage pools and block allocation
| algorithms, realize that ZFS's design
| features have the enterprise server in mind
| to extract every bit of performance
| possible from a disk-based system. ZFS is
| an intelligent filesystem that can actually
| adapt its read behavior on the fly for
| complex read patterns. ZFS also provides
| built-in compression and encryption.
