a place in the sun

about Sun, Solaris 10 and Java Workstation w2100z -- Posts with "sunshine" in titles will praise SUNW, Solaris 10 or w2100z. Posts with "sunspot" will complain. Other posts will fall somewhere in-between.

sunshine or sunspot - opensolaris is the base

Eric Boutilier from Sun writes
... under the new Solaris/Opensolaris model, in order for a Sun developer to put code into regular Solaris (the Solaris that Sun ships), he/she will have to put it into Opensolaris first. In other words, Solaris is becoming a distro, so to speak, of OpenSolaris. And Solaris engineering is already well down the path to making this happen.


I presume OpenSolaris.org will make sure that whatever OS with Solaris base will be compatible with each other? I hope this open source model doesn't lead to Balkanization of distos a la Linux.
