OpenSolaris 2008.05 is robust and ready

Gary Sims reviews OpenSolaris 2008.05 on Linux.com. "OpenSolaris comes with some unique technologies, such as ZFS and DTrace, which can make it an attractive option for business. The Zetabyte File System (ZFS) is a powerful file system designed for high storage capacities. It goes beyond filesystems like ext3 and NTFS by combining a filesystem, volume management, and RAID into one package. DTrace is a system tracing tool that enables you to explore your system to understand how it works, track down performance problems across many layers of software, or locate the cause of aberrant behavior. You can learn more about it in the Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide."
