The idea of a sort of embedded Solaris seems very interesting to me as well. The fact that OpenSolaris is so well documented makes it more appealing than Linux to me. It could be used for different kind of platforms, for example 3G mobile phones/ PDAs/ ...
Does anyone have an idea as to how much needs to be changed to OpenSolaris in order to make this work? On 5/5/07, Brian Gupta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Well, the same thing could have been said about x86 hardware in general a few years ago. It was pre-installed w/ Windows or Linux, and was a heck of a lot cheaper than Sparc hardware. Now as for what benefit, I feel that if someone is driven to do this I think it would be a great exercise, to come up with a minimal, but still very functional build. We don't necessarily want to keep opsol pinned down to it's historical roles (desktop/server). I see their is a PPC port going on. My assumption that this is in progress to add support for some sort of embedded Solaris. I'd take it even further. I could see down the road a uCSolaris for architectures without an MMU. That all said, my first priority is opsol as server/desktop. Cheers, Brian -Brian _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
