"Sun is, of course, still around. And the OpenSolaris project is bringing in lots of community members, while at the same time Sun and its collaborators are working to get the next release of Solaris out the door - perhaps by next year. For those of you who don't know, Sun is backing its way into a Linux development model, with a development release and a commercial release, akin to the Fedora and Enterprise Linux or openSUSE and SUSE Enterprise Linux Server splits over at Red Hat and Novell."
