Solaris on IBM Mainframes
Sun,
IBM Ink Solaris Distribution Agreement for Servers: "Apparently
what does make sense to both Zeitler and Schwartz is getting Solaris 10
ported to IBM's System z mainframes. Sine Nomine Associates, which
helped get Linux ported to the mainframe in the late 1990s and which
has been working on a Solaris port to the System z architecture since
July 2006, has been working on its own OpenSolaris port to the
mainframe." -- Timothy Prickett Morgan
Cool. Solaris to run on even bigger computers. But I'm still waiting for a company to step forward and port Solaris to really small computers. Like cell phones.

Just to add a little historical perspective :-) see http://webtuitive.blogspot.com/2007/08/everything-old-is-new-again.html
Nothing to do with cell phones, though!
