Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris Yesterday, the OpenSolaris team released OpenSolaris 2008.05, the fruit of Project Indiana. The first review we found was published over at Blogbeebe, which is overall fairly positive. At the same time, Practical Technology believes that "OpenSolaris has finally been released just in time to die".

On the development model

"OpenSolaris has failed to develop a strong developer community."

It has a lot of developers. They are Sun employees working in Sun offices!

OpenSolaris development happens totally differently than it does for linux. Does anyone think this is by accident?

The fact that the author of this article assumes that everyone is striving to be like him (and therefore are failing when they are not) really shows off his sickly biases.

OpenSolaris is obviously trying to copy the success of linux and ubuntu and red hat. But they are not obviously trying to copy the development model.
