“Occasionally I get an interesting, off-the-beaten-path
suggestion on the Request A Review page. This time around somebody
suggested doing a review of OpenSolaris. Why do a review of
OpenSolaris? Well why the heck not? It’s always fun to check out a
different kind of desktop operating system. Sometimes you can find
an unexpected jewel when you least expect it. Is OpenSolaris a
jewel? I’ll try to answer that question in this review.“If you aren’t familiar with OpenSolaris, here’s a little
background from Wikipedia:“OpenSolaris is an open source operating system based on Solaris
created by Sun Microsystems, now a part of Oracle Corporation. It
is also the name of the project initiated by Sun to build a
developer and user community around it.”
