Q&A: Sun exec ponders OpenSolaris, Linux (ComputerWorld)Q&A: Sun exec ponders OpenSolaris, Linux (ComputerWorld)Posted May 15, 2008 15:37 UTC (Thu) by dmag (subscriber, #17775)In reply to: Q&A: Sun exec ponders OpenSolaris, Linux (ComputerWorld) by afalko Parent article: Q&A: Sun exec ponders OpenSolaris, Linux (ComputerWorld)
Yes, the extra probes are already OSS. DTrace is already OSS (CDDL), as is the whole Solaris kernel, including ZFS. The OpenSolaris OS is mostly OSS, except for a few programs. Work is underway to eliminate that (for all I know, there could already be a distro that ships the CDDL kernel with a 100% OSS userland). http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/ The packages available for OpenSolaris tend to be crufty (old, not much selection if you are into 'new' tools such as nginx or git.)
