+available to the community. The goal is to grow the page so the
+community has a convenient place find additional resources. Some of
+these links appear on opensolaris.org or on Sun's various sites, but
+we'd also like to point to additional resources. Please send

+ OpenSolaris News+ +The OpenSolaris project is making headlines! Here are some recent news articles we thought you might find interesting. If you've seen an interesting article that we missed, please send details to the website-request AT opensolaris DOT org mailing list, and we'll add it to the list. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ++ Carry hard disk in a pen drive!Add to Clippings + | + Times of India + | + 11/22/2006 ++BANGALORE: His first tryst with programming was in a computer class at St Paul's English School, Bangalore. That very moment he knew he was made for the world of programming. + ++ Sun considers GPL for Solaris + | + CNet + | + 11/14/2006 ++Sun Microsystems is considering releasing its Solaris operating system under the General Public License, executives said Monday, raising the possibility of cross-pollination with Linux. + ++ Tip of the Trade: Nexenta + | + ServerWatch + | + 10/31/2006 ++When Sun released Solaris under an open-source license and began distributing the binary edition free of cost, millions of users downloaded it. Some estimates claims as many as 10 million downloads so far. As nice as Solaris is, though, users accustomed to Linux or FreeBSD found it lacking in several key areas: system management and other useful utilities, a friendly interface and dependency-resolving installers. The cries of "oh, if only Solaris had the GNU toolchain, a friendly installer, all those thousands of great Linux applications, Linux's great hardware support, and Debian's aptitude, it would be perfect." + ++ OpenSolaris Options Show Promise + | + eWeek + | + 10/23/2006 ++Beginning with Solaris 10, Sun Microsystems rearranged the development and licensing processes surrounding its flagship operating system to better tap the sort of community participation that has helped lift Linux fairly quickly to prominence. The result was OpenSolaris. + ++ Nexenta combines OpenSolaris, GNU, and Ubuntu + | + Linux.com + | + 10/13/2006 ++What do you get when you combine OpenSolaris, the GNU utilities, and Ubuntu? Nexenta -- a GNU-based open source operating system built on top of the OpenSolaris kernel and runtime. I took the Alpha 5 release out for a spin to see how well it's progressing. It might sound like an odd combination, but after more than a year of development, it actually works well, and is shaping up to be a very interesting operating system. + ++ Sun Microsystems Champions Student Developers In Higher Education + | + Enterprise Open Source + | + 10/12/2006 ++Sun Microsystems announced that it has expanded its Campus Ambassador Program to 170 universities in 30 countries. The expansion greatly increases the program's ability to help improve student, research and faculty access to free training and tools for today's newest software technologies. This initiative is the latest in Sun's drive to provide academic developers with the educational tools and resources they need to cultivate important IT skills, participate in today's global economy, and contribute to the innovation of new technologies. + ++ Who owns Solaris? + | + ZDNet + | + 10/12/2006 ++Regular contributor Anton Philidor keeps asking who owns Solaris -- implying that an open source product is community owned and therefore ultimately nobody's responsibility. + ++ The importance of Solaris 10 + | + ZDNet + | + 10/06/2006 ++Almost two years ago, in November of 2004, I did a piece for Linuxinsider with this same title: the importance of Solaris 10. Last week Sun formally issued the latest point release, now including ZFS and PostgresSQL. So how do my opinions then, stand up now? + + + ++ OpenSolaris for PowerPC + | + OSNews + | + 10/03/2006 ++Sun Labs is pleased to announce the release to the OpenSolaris community of a long awaited update to the Solaris PowerPC code base. + ++ Enterprise Unix Roundup: Unix Buzz Defies Prognosis + | + Enterprise Unix Roundup + | + 09/27/2006 ++Anyone paying any sort of attention to the operating system world these days, has likely gotten the sense that Vista's stock is going down, Linux's is going up, and Unix's ... Ah, perhaps its not as bad as one might think. + ++ Google testing Sun's OpenSolaris, sources say + | + ComputerWorld + | + 09/20/2006 ++Google Inc. is experimenting with the open-source version of Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Solaris operating system as a possible long-term prelude to replacing its massive global network of Linux servers, according to sources. + ++ OpenSolaris BrandZ Integrated + | + OS News + | + 09/13/2006 ++BrandZ, which, quoting from the OpenSolaris BrandZ Community webpage, is a framework that extends the Solaris Zones infrastructure to create Branded Zones, which are zones that contain non-native operating environments, integrated into the OpenSolaris mainline OpenSolaris mainline kernel last night. + ++ The Winners Are... + | + Wall Street Journal + | + 09/11/2006 ++Computer systems are notoriously finicky. They'll hum along just fine and then unaccountably slow down, freeze up or stop working altogether. Finding the cause of some unexplained problem is difficult and time-consuming, especially with complicated systems in real-life settings. + ++ The good old days - are back? + | + ZDNet + | + 09/11/2006 ++In the good old days you got system wide performance and reliability for data intensive applications by using as much directly connected disk as you could afford -which, at $2,100 for a 104MB disk in about 1990, wasn't that much. + ++ Defining the "wry" in wry comment + | + ZDNet + | + 09/08/2006 ++Sometime ago Chris Rijk sent me a reference to an OpenSolaris discussion on "Solaris Viruses." Since there aren't any, the discussion is short and pointed - but included something I think ought to be cited in future dictionaries trying to define the term "wry" as in wry humour or wry commentary. + ++ Sun, University of Pisa Dept of Physics Open OpenSolaris CoE in Italy + | + IT News Online + | + 08/30/2006 ++Sun Microsystems Italy and the Department of Physics at the University of Pisa have partnered to create the first Center of Excellence for the OpenSolaris technology platform. The center will provide technological expertise and support to academic institutions, businesses and developers. + ++ IBM Derides OpenSolaris as Not-So-Open + | + Slashdot + | + 08/17/2006 ++I talked to one of the OpenSolaris developers at the project's LWCE booth in the "dot-org ghetto," and though it wasn't in response to this article, he pointed out that OpenSolaris takes contributions from all comers, has active public mailing lists, open IRC channels, and several online communities, so Frye's description seems at least overblown. + ++ ZFS - the future of file systems? + | + TechWorld + | + 08/14/2006 ++Sun's ZFS could presage a round of file system upgrades. On the other hand ... + ++ Mac OS X Leopard gets Sun's DTrace + | + ZDNet Australia + | + 08/08/2006 ++Apple Computer has announced the next version of its flagship Mac OS X operating system will support Sun Microsystems' open source DTrace performance analysis and debugging tool. + + + ++ Coraid Releases Open Source ATA-Over-Ethernet Protocol Driver for Solaris OS + | + Marketwire (press release) + | + 07/12/2006 ++Coraid, Inc. today announced the released of an ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) driver for the Solaris Operating System. The new Solaris driver is provided as both source code and a loadable binary and can be downloaded from Coraid's website at no cost. The new driver works with 32-bit and 64-bit SPARC®-based systems running Solaris 7, 8, 9 and 10. + + |
