In one of my latest blogs entries I promised there was more great news to come about the distribution of OpenSolaris 2008.05 in The Netherlands. Well, here goes:
The June edition of c't Magazine has an article 'Solaris contra Linux' in which OpenSolaris is tested and described, and comes with a bootable DVD that carries OpenSolaris 2008.05 (amongst a pile of other software). The direct link is here -- sorry, it's in Dutch only.
c't Magazine is distributed in a large (tens of thousands) amount of copies in Holland and Germany. The idea of distributing OpenSolaris with this magazine was born at the NLUUG Spring Conference and Menno Lageman, co-Sunnie, Solaris resource management guru and NLOSUG core member worked with the people of c't Magazine to create the bootable DVD. Again, this shows what good relationships, sense of community and several hours of personal time from Menno can lead to!
From the whispersuite: Menno might blog about this in the near future...
NLOSUG will take a short summer break but behind the screens we keep going.
Happy (summer)hacking!
Allow me to add that *all* the hard work on creating the DVD was done by Pieter-Paul Spiertz of c't. My involvement was limited to providing some answers and hints to Pieter-Paul.
