Positive reviews for 2008.11 docs
Usually, technical writers only hear comments on their work when there is a problem...an error in a procedure or a lack of clarity or the like. But lo and behold, here is an independent blog review of OpenSolaris 2008.11 in which the reviewer adds these comments specifically about the documentation:
The desktop includes a shortcut icon called 'Getting Started with OpenSolaris', which links to excellent documentation on installation, post-install configuration, links to the OS blog and forum, guides on installing OS in Virtualbox or Parallels (Mac), and a variety of commercial support options.
There's also a very useful shortcut to the Device Driver Guide, which is worth its weight in gold to anyone new to this operating system. This is how documentation should be done - full marks.
Kudos to the writers on these projects (Barbara and Alta). The review is quite a good read. You can see it in its entirety here:
