Default OpenSolaris Release is NEXT WEEK!

Is Joerg Schilling the next Linus Torvalds? Joerg has advantages that
Linus never had. 25 years of Unix engineering expeince. And a
codebase battle hardened by professional Ivy league engineers. Unlike
Linux, SchilliX, Joerg's OpenSolaris distro will support the proper
SCSI commands. It won't be just a kernel.

AIX is long in the tooth compared to Solaris 10. AIX lacks DTrace,
Zones and other goodies. Linux doesn't have the stability or the
features of Solaris either, but it was open source.

But not any longer, as OpenSolaris has been confirmed to be released
in a weeks time from June 8th! OpenSolaris, SchilliX, and other
OpenSolaris distros go head to head with Linux. I'll bet the
superiour offering will kick some serious linux (and AIX) butt.

What "features"? Linux has had the capability to do "zones" for quite a
while longer than Solaris and has much better hardware support. Linux is
also FASTER.

Your idea of what is "superior" is ludicrous.

And will continue to die the way it and Sun has been for some time.

One thing that might be nice, once Solaris becomes open source is that
someone may fix the fucking stupid ^H BS!

Confirmed? By who? The lady who works at the corner shop down the road?
I'll put _serious_ money on that date being wrong.

Hey Mike, get off the crack pipe dude. Have you ever actually admin'ed
both Solaris and AIX? Sun is in so much trouble they spent half their
cash ($4.1 billion, with a B), on an aging hardware company.(Storage
Tech) Another not so brilliant move, in a long line of not so brilliant
moves. Revenue and market share continue on the slippery slope to
nowhere.

Get a grip.

Is this is the unix distro with CDDL crap bordering fake
open source license that all of 1350 people downloaded?

No, it's the enterpise-class UNIX distro licensed under the
OSI-approved CDDL open source license , which more than 1.5
million people have downloaded so far.

Does it run on PowerPC/POWER ? Does it come with decent LVM ? MPIO ? If
answer on one of this is NO it's not even worse taking a look at.
