Happy Anniversary to the OpenIndiana project
The OpenIndiana project has released
OpenIndiana oi_151a, exactly one year afer the release of version oi_147.
OpenIndiana is based on illumos, a
community driven fork of OpenSolaris. "
OpenIndiana oi_151a now includes KVM, the open source Kernel-based Virtual Machine, as a basic virtualization solution along with the QEMU package! This KVM port includes virtualization extensions for Intel VT. Using KVM, a user or system administrator can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified x86_64-based operating system images for Linux, BSD, or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc."

Happy Anniversary to the OpenIndiana project
Watching this with interest if only because a) I do like the idea of another community-supported Unix OS out there, and b) really curious about the licensing issue with KVM and the CDDL kernel.
