OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2 Available

There is now a second version of an x86-based LiveCD install image called OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2 (a.k.a. "Project Indiana") available for download.

More details here.

Glynn Foster sent out an email on it to Sun bloggers email alias last night. There were pointers to the release notes and the list of bug fixes.

It also included this gem:

"Introduction of /usr/has/bin (experimental!), with /usr/bin/vi now linking to vim by default."

I had to quickly check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st. Nope, it's not. Chuckling ensued. I'd like to thank whoever it was that came up with that great directory name. It brightened my day.

I installed it last night, but hadn't noticed /usr/has/bin. Too funny. Turns out /usr/has/man as well. Apparently I haven't been looking in the right place. ;-)

It gets better:

$ ls -1 /usr/has/man
man1

Better than nothing, I suppose.

$ ls -1 /usr/has/man/man1
ex.1 <---
sh.1
vi.1
view.1

Drat! ;-)
