While OpenSolaris 2008.05 is only two months old, work at Sun is already underway in preparing for the second OpenSolaris release, which will be known as OpenSolaris 2008.11 and has been codenamed Jericho.

I'm very exited about OpenSolaris. This is one OS, yes there are allready distroes, but Sun's Solaris will always be -the- Solaris and thus we will get a standard.
Sun seems to be a quite resourcefull company and I think OpenSolaris could become as usefull, or maybe even more usefull that Ubuntu/Fedora/SuSE.
I tried it on my laptop and it didn't work very well(the installer crashed, it did find my Wifi though). Anyway, I'll try to keep up with this project. Seems very exiting.
On the other hand: do we need another OSS *nix? We allready have Linux-distros, the BSDs and others. Is there a point to Solaris besides ZFS and DTrace? Will OpenSolaris ever appeal to non-devs?
