OpenSolaris Options Show Promise (eWeek)
eWeek reviews
three OpenSolaris live CD distributions. "eWEEK Labs recently scoped
out the current OpenSolaris environment, spinning up three LiveCD-based
OpenSolaris x86 distributions: NexentaOS Alpha 5, Belenix 0.5 and Schillix
0.5.2. We found that none of these systems is ready for production use but
that they certainly represent burgeoning development diversity for
Solaris. What's more, these distributions point to intriguing new
directions for Solaris, particularly in the case of NexentaOS."

OpenSolaris Options Show Promise (eWeek) Posted Oct 26, 2006 12:08 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] How *surprising* that Schillix has stalled. With a peak of two developers and the potent Schilling factor, I'd have expected it to take over the world by now.
;)
OpenSolaris Options Show Promise (eWeek) Posted Oct 26, 2006 17:08 UTC (Thu) by arafel (subscriber, #18557) [Link] Every now and again I look at these and consider trying them, and then realise - what's the point? The bits I'd be interested in are the applications, which run just as well (if not better) under Linux.
But if people are happy to spend their time tinkering, who am I to stop them? :)
(There are a few bits of Solaris 10 which sound interesting - Zones and DProbes, for example - but those are more at the OS level, and I can't really go digging around in there...)
