OpenSolaris and its killer features. Coming to a GNU/Linux near you?
,----[ Quote ]
| When we think of free operating systems we
| tend to think overwhelmingly of the big
| hitters (all GNU/Linux) like Debian,
| Ubuntu, Fedora and Mandriva and then of
| those niche distros that have been
| designed for low end systems or for
| specialist purposes like security and
| forensics. But Oranges are not the only
| fruit. There is a hinterland out there
| called Unixland, populated by other less
| well known systems whose roots are firmly
| Unix too. BSD for example, famed for its
| rock-like security. OpenSolaris is another
| one, perhaps less well known, but it has
| features that are well worth a punt. This
| article will look at those kernels and if
| porting them to mainstream distros is
| technically possible and permissible in
| terms of the perrenially thorny issue of
| licencing.

| We wonât be using an Integrated
| Development Environment (IDE), at least,
| initially. We will just do it the simple
| way: write code using a text editor, save
| it, and compile/interpret it using an
| appropriate compiler/interpreter. In the
| Linux world, you have a plethora of text
| editors to choose from. One of the
| editors, such as gedit or kwrite, will
| definitely be installedwhen you install
| Linuxâyou can use either. If you install a
| distribution like Ubuntu, which has the
| GNOME desktop environment, then you will
| have gedit already installed. Itâs just
| like Notepad, only more useful and
| feature-rich.

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.
