No interest in opensolaris then? The `ZFS' file system alone makes it
worth looking at... its a working system very similar to what linux
community is trying with btrfs
I guess you know that Oracle bought Sun. Some on the opensolaris
lists have been pretty concerned about the fate of opensolaris.
In the last few days some Oracle heavies have put it on line that
Oracle plans to put more devel money into Opensolaris than Sun had
been so many in that community are relieved.
If you're interested, look for:
