Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris Simon Phipps writes on his weblog: "I'm in Berlin today opening the very first OpenSolaris Developer Conference. I'll be announcing that the new Get.OpenSolaris.org site that allows anyone in the world to order a kit containing DVDs of OpenSolaris distributions, documentation and source. With a nod towards the good folks at Ubuntu, Sun is sponsoring the kits so that they are completely free of charge, including global delivery. Hopefully this will mean even folks without the bandwidth to download DVD ISOs will be able to join the OpenSolaris community."

My first experience with it resulted in failure because it would work with ps2 ports only (my rig has usb keyboard & mouse). So I couldn't even install it to test it out and find out what all the hubbub about it is

Following that line of reasoning, I had a PIII box with a 20GB hard-drive that refused to install Win2K or WinXP (a conflict with the large hard drive and the bios). I finally gave up and installed Linux on it.

Thus, nobody should run Windows and I don't see what the fuss is about Windows.

Gosh, maybe my statistical sample was too small. You think?
