Illumos project was started as a fork of OpenSolaris when Oracle was still publishing OpenSolaris sources. Then Oracle closed OpenSolaris development, and decided to call upcoming (closed) versions "Solaris 11 Express", with no source included. Illumos project continued the development based on the latest published OpenSolaris sources, and a bit later OpenIndiana *distribution* was announced to deliver a binary distro based on OpenSolaris/Illumos. So in short Illumos is the development project, which hosts the new sources, and OpenIndiana is a binary distro based on it. -- Pasi > On Mar 18, 2011, at 6:16 PM, Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk wrote: > > >> I think we all feel the same pain with Oracle's purchase of Sun. > >> > >> FreeBSD that has commercial support for ZFS maybe? > > > > Fbsd currently has a very old zpool version, not suitable for running with > > SLOGs, since if you lose it, you may lose the pool, which isn't very > > amusing... > > > > Vennlige hilsener / Best regards > > > > roy > > -- > > Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk > > (+47) 97542685 > > r...@karlsbakk.net > > http://blogg.karlsbakk.net/ > > -- > > I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt.
