opensolaris.org
http://www.opensolaris.org/ is open. I’m glad. Hopefully it will push the OS into Linux-space here and there. Linux is 10 times easier to set up as a LAMP server; Solaris is 100 times easier to set up as a big SAN attached server. If you have to build a LAMP Solaris server, or a SAN attached Linux server, it’s going to be a hassle.
Most major HBA vendors are doing a great job of getting Linux geared up for SAN connectivity, hopefully the Open Solaris project will help make Solaris a more open source friendly OS. SunFreeware has always been a great resource for packages that can make your Solaris box more Linux-like, hopefully Open Solaris will push it out even further.
I like Solaris, but I hate the set of packages that come with it. Come on opensolaris.org, don’t let me down.
