More OpenSolars goodies...
| Zhiqi Tao,
Sun Campus Ambassador at University
of Melbourne, Australia, has run
OpenSolaris on his ThinkPad T61 for a month, and he has shared his
experiences -- both good and bad -- in his OpenSolaris review.
His
screen-by-screen commentary of booting into LiveCD mode, installation,
post installation configurations etc. will be very handy for the first
time users. Check out his little tidbits (like you gotta remember to
eject the LiveCD from CDROM, there is no reminder!), what worked and
what didn't out of the box, his suggestions and much more here. |

OpenSolaris posts that covered a lot of grounds ranging from
OpenSolaris 2008.05 Live CD overview, how to run OpenSolaris in other
operating system environments using VirtualBox, DTrace exploration,
solution to a compiz hang problem, a screencast of OpenSolaris
installation in a virtual drive to a comparison of OpenSolaris 2008.05
and Ubuntu 8.04. Check out Jay's OpenSolaris submissions here. Jay also had a nice series of NetBeans reviews and tutorials. Check those out here. (Some of these NetBeans posts were submitted to an earlier contest, and those are not being considered for this contest.) |
