OpenSolaris 2009.06
I like to try out different Operating Systems from time to time, experimenting, finding out how people find mays to solve the same common problem: “How can I make this computer do what I want the way I want it?”.
The main reason for me to try out OpenSolaris is because of many people talking about it’s supposedly superb ZFS filesystem, DTrace for refined tracing of executable’s and kernel debugging information, and Crossbow.
Now, OpenSolaris isn’t Linux. It’s uses Sun’s Solaris kernel, but with some open source components you would immediately recognize as being part of many Linux distributions like Gnome.
My first impressions upon trying out the latest Live CD, that OpenSolaris didn’t look any different from other Linux distro’s.
