OpenSolaris 2008.05

[Souvik Das Gupta]

"OpenSolaris is a massive advancement for OS development and deployment. It combines the strong foundation of Solaris technologies and tools with modern desktop features and applications developed by open source communities such as GNOME, Mozilla and the Free Software Foundation," said Stephen Lau, OpenSolaris Governing Board member. "OpenSolaris provides an ideal environment for students, developers and early adopters looking to learn and gain experience with innovative technologies like ZFS, Zones and DTrace. And yes, it uses bash by default." 

OpenSolaris 2008.05 (also known as Project Indiana) has been launched at Community One on May 5th. And surely by the look of it, its an all new beginning for the Solaris operating system.
