In an effort to spur adoption of Solaris, Sun has begun a project code-named Indiana to try to give its operating system some of the trappings of Linux. The project is one of the items on the to-do list of Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian version of Linux and, as of March, Sun's chief operating systems officer. Though he wouldn't confirm the name of the project, Murdock - who's from Indiana - discussed the project's essence at the JavaOne conference here Monday, and Sun spokesman Russ Castronovo confirmed the name.

I've never had any problems with the current Solaris package manager. To be honest, I find it easier to locate packages for Solaris than I do for say Red Hat. In Linux it seems there too many options and different developers will use different ones causing me to have to traverse between package managers to get something installed that requires dependencies.
