As Sun's G11n QA group would like to work publicly we have decided to open our testing to wider audience. It covers sharing the test results, test infrastructure as well as to enable everyone interested to help with the OpenSolaris testing.

 Our first major initiative was to establish OpenSolaris G11n Test Group. Now we would like to start test execution and thus test group has launched test campaign for OpenSolaris 2009.06 Binary Distro.

Today, March 25, 2009 Adobe has announced an availability of Adobe Reader 9.1 for OpenSolaris (or Solaris) on x86 platform. After several months when a plan for releasing Adobe Reader for (Open)Solaris x86 was revealed at Adobe blog and different forums, wishes become reality and you can freely download the reader from their sites.

I personally downloaded and installed .pkg.bz2 version in English on my OpenSolaris box (b109) and it worked as expected. Perfect! And note that Reader is available for different languages for example Japanese, French or German.
