Alternative OS of the Month: June 2007

::::: Please post questions, reviews, comparisons to other OS's, etc in this thread :::::

June's AOSOTM is:

Open Solaris

The OpenSolaris project is an open source project sponsored by Sun Microsystems, Inc, that is initially based on a subset of the source code for the Solaris Operating System. It is a nexus for a community development effort where developers from Sun and elsewhere can collaborate on developing and improving operating system technology. The OpenSolaris source code will find a variety of uses, including being the basis for future versions of the Solaris OS product, other operating system projects, and third-party products and distributions. - www.opensolaris.org

If I had a spare computer to try it on, I would, but no such luck.

you can try it out in qemu, i just added the link to the main post.

Ah, yes, I keep forgetting about qemu.

What luck, I have a spare PC. I think I may try it out when I get home.

Damn, that download is huge. Does anyone know if I need the other two discs?
