Sun Debuts OpenSolaris 2008.05 posted by Thom Holwerda on Mon 5th May 2008 17:12 UTC, submitted by Dale Smoker IconOpenSolaris 2008.5, the new distribution based on the OpenSolaris operating system, has been released into the wild. This release follows the conventions set by many of the popular Linux distributions, such as being based on a single live CD with installer, but also adds a load of OpenSolaris-specific features such as ZFS, DTrace, Containers, and a new package management system, IPS. OpenSolaris 2008.5 is the fruit of Project Indiana. When Sun started the process of open sourcing Solaris 10 about three years ago, it sufficed to have a website dedicated to programmers. OpenSolaris.org was the place where OpenSolaris was being built, and for a while, according to Dan Roberts, director of product management for Solaris and OpenSolaris at Sun, this worked out just fine. However, later on, people expected something else on OpenSolaris.org: a distribution. "They were looking for something that they could understand, that they could deploy, that they could use." He continues to explain that Solaris 10 was mostly a monolithic package, a very complete operating system filled with stuff that a lot of people simply don't need. More or less he said that Solaris 10 was a bit overkill if you just wanted to deploy a php application on Apache. The new package manager is part of trying to solve this problem, to make Solaris 10 less monolithic. The IPS system also uses ZFS; if your package upgrade goes tits up, you will be able to roll back to a stable system using ZFS snapshots - you can make a ZFS snapshot right before you start the update process. Jim McHugh, vice president of Solaris marketing at Sun, explains a little further: Solaris has a very strong following and a very strong user base. Now we're taking all the benefits Solaris has had and making it more familiar and accessible to what people who have used other open-source operating systems know. It is really giving access to the big features that someone might have associated in the past with just being Unix features. And they're going to update the default shell to understand the backspace key. Just so you know. You can download the new release from the OpenSolaris.com website.

People This weekend I had my first talk ... Despite the nervous it was everything right ... The speech happened on Saturday 26.04 and was during the FLISOL that occurred here in Sampa FATEC Zona Sul It was at 14:00pm. Despite the nervous as I mentioned, has everything right, spoke on OpenSolais and Indiana .... At first I thought that people would not be involved in the matter but to my surprise ... It took a fright when entering the auditorium ... Bahhh the exact count was 82 people waiting to hear what I would talk ... After the lecture one more surprise ... a bunch of students came on stage to talk with me about 10 or 15, installation and so on ... questions of anyone who starts something new and innovative use, but not really imagine that they were giving as much attention as I was talking ...the biggest surprise was when two teachers came to talk me ... one of FATEC (tiradentes, by the way is the largest on centre of Sampa) and other of UNICID (if I am not mistaken) and both asked to lecture at the faculty of them. Well think about this purchase starting this good, although like to talk I can not deny that it was with cold in the belly, but after you climb on stage and see those people, looking and paying attention to you until you are speaking. .. Not BETTER SENSATION .... Task fulfilled I will begin studying to next cheers Gaby
