Nexenta OS: Debian based GNU/Solaris
==========================
This is to announce Nexenta OS: the Debian based GNU/Solaris
distribution.
We'll open Nexenta web developer portal completely for the general
public by
mid-November. Today we are launching a Pilot Program. Solaris
developers and the
entire OpenSolaris community - you are welcome to participate in the
Pilot!
What is Nexenta OS today
=================
Several things:
1) A working prototype that runs on our 32-bit laptops and AMD64 box; the
latter is used for development of the system itself, and it in turn
runs our
entire development environment, and hosts the web portal (below).
2) 2,300 Debian packages available for immediate usage.
3) Developer's portal at http://www.gnusolaris.org - fully functional,
with
downloads, APT repository, discussion forums, developer's "hack zone",
bug
database, blogs, and numerous Solaris and free software resources.
This will be 100% open and free-of-any-charge easy-to-install easy-to-use
distribution. Coming out soon!
For Developers
==========
There are probably very few projects that can come anywhere close to
Nexenta OS,
in terms of the size, complexity and openness. The Nexenta project
offers a rare
opportunity to take part in something as big as this mega-project at
its early
stage - and make a meaningful contribution, ranging from selected
improvements
and up to... well, the sky's the limit.
