You probably mean the marketed and packaged OS distribution based on an SNV/ON binary release and consolidation as the OpenSolaris project is considered work in flux to the community. In the Community we are calling the new Oracle/Sun OS Solaris 11 although there is no offically 'sworn-in' OS binary release or distribution named as the Solaris 11 operating system yet. ~ Ken Mays ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

But it must bring a ROI. And I am convinced, Oracle is able to make one, out of the combination: OracleOpensolarisTheirownsparcgear. Some competition with IBM and Power. I am so glad that not IBM took over Sun. Mostly they would have had redundances in their portfolio. IBM would have killed everything, and probably not AIX in favor of Solaris, and not Power in favor of SPARC, and not their own DB in favor of MySQL. With Oracle I am at least very optimistic. Let us hope they wont lay off too many Sun employees. All the best! %martin ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Oracle commits to SPARC + SOLARIS!!!
Sure do hope they look at releasing a mini-me entry-level SPARC box (T3120 where art thou??), i.e. affordable. If folk such as myself learning the ropes want to play with SPARC the only practical options are some used thing, or very expensive new units. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

If folk such as myself learning the ropes want to play with SPARC the only practical options are some used thing, or very expensive new units. You can do that now on the used market, just as you mentioned. I saw a 280R with a pair of 1.2GHz CPUs today for $150. I am dangerously close to deploying an 8-way v40z for my home server right now. Yes it's AMD, but still Sun gear. As for Oracle, this is flat brilliant. My employer is a couple years into the move away from Solaris to AIX. I wonder how long that strategic decision will last. Every Oracle license renewal has now become a lead for Sun, complete with contact names and insight into a company's budget and purchase process. Brilliant. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I rarely quote him, but this time I do: http://ianmurdock.com/ “It goes to 11″ June 2nd, 2009 I’m reading the news from CommunityOne yesterday, and it seems most people missed what I think was the biggest news: That John Fowler revealed that OpenSolaris 2009.06 is “the preview release of the next major release of Solaris”. (Yes, I and others have suggested this would be the path forward for Solaris—eventually—but this, to my knowledge, is the first time it’s been “official”.) ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
