Benchmark Outing
I've written on this before, but now Filebench has been released.
Its a flexible filesystem benchmark, by simulating other benchmarks. Try it out. We're using it for both on the box filesystem performance runs as well as network/NFS runs.

Open doors to OpenSolaris
Here we go.
The source to the kernel, user commands, tons of stuff.

On Gaming (part 2)
A screenshot showing quake2 running under Solaris x86/amd64 using OpenGL and the nVidia Solaris drivers :-)
Oh and to link back to my ongoing dtrace obsession, the top left corner shows counts every 5 secs of the quake2 functions being called. A dtrace one liner:
dtrace -n 'pid1057:a.out::entry{@c[probefunc] = count();} tick-5sec{printa(@c); trunc(@c,1);}'
Will be trying out some other OpenGL based things as time goes on...

Gaming on
Got a mail on an internal mailing list about the opengl nvidia driver for solaris, they've been released ! Alan's blog has the info and where to download them. We've been playing Quake II with these drivers already. At 1600x1200 its very very nice :)
