Open Solaris 2008.05 - Are you kidding me?
This article is a summary of my four-hour experience with Open Solaris 2008.05. How was it? Well, in one word: good. In two words: NOT good.
In this article, I'll review the highs and lows of my experimentation with Open Solaris 2008.05, in an honest attempt to get it installed and working on my machine.
Please remember that while I have quite an extensive knowledge of Linux, I know very little about Solaris, which is UNIX based. Yes, the two share the same history, but don't get confused. They are as similar as Windows 3.11 and Windows XP are.
