OReilly Media just did this parody article making fun of SJV Nichols's Computer World article:
Is Oracle getting ready to kill Unbreakable Linux? http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/07/is-oracle-getting-ready-to-kil.html My guess is neither article is really right. Unbreakable Linux can't be killed because it's not an operating system. It's a cheaper (and reportedly better) support contract system for RHEL. OpenSolaris can't be killed because it's basically Solaris Nevada with CDE and the installer and a bunch of other goodies (flash archive, etc.) taken out and a Debian style package management system put in. Red Hat is trapped in a classic pincer attack- like Hannibal defeating the Romans at the battle of Cannae: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cannae with Unbreakable Linux outflanking them on the left and OpenSolaris outflanking them on the right. Should be interesting to see how this turns out. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
