At the Sun Developer Advisory Council today, Glenn Weinberg gave an overview of Sun's Linux strategy. Since this is a question I've heard many-a-folk ask, I wanted to share what he said... it's very simple
- Sun's Linux strategy is Red Hat and SuSE
- We read the customers loud and clear when the told us eliminate Sun Linux. Outta here.
- We offer service and support worldwide
- Our strategy translates into instant ISV capture
- And instant multi-platform
- We're committed to having the latest Sun Java on all distributions
- All Sun SW will run on all Solaris and Linux distribution
- We're working all the angles to promote Linux compatibility
Now, let me tell you people, there are some hot, hot, hot developments bubbling in this space. I have to leave it to you to read the tea leaves. But you want to watch this space, let's just put it that way.
One way to keep up-to-date on the Solaris operating environment is to join the Software Express for Solaris program. This program is your finger on the pulse of new features and technology that is getting rolled into Solaris. And here's the best part: it's free.
love it.
catcha later.
