Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris "Sun Labs is pleased to announce the release to the OpenSolaris community of a long awaited update to the Solaris PowerPC code base. This source contribution provides the community with a functional Solaris PowerPC development environment on selected target platforms. This is a modest, but important step toward reaching the goal of developing the Solaris PowerPC port project to the point where it includes the latest source tree, provides a shell or single user prompt on the target platform, and has enhanced debugging, ie: KMDB."

This is something I've been waiting for for a long time. Now my brother-in-law can run Solaris on his G4 like he's always wanted.

An excellent example of Sun and the OpenSolaris community working together to support new architectures. I'd love to see Solaris on MIPS, Alpha and PA-RISC too. Might have to wait a bit though.
