Last week, on my country's Liberation Day, Sun released OpenSolaris 2008.05, the much awaited first official fruit of Project Indiana. It delivers many of OpenSolaris' major features, such as DTrace, ZFS, containers, and more, in a Linux distribution-like package. The goal is to allow more people to experience Solaris. A few reviews have since hit the web.

"I don't know who said the 32bit thing
Kawai, are you serious about not having heard that? It's all over the place. I, personally, doubt the claim. But whenever I see a complaint about ZFS performance, valid or not, someone, usually advocating ZFS, calls the poster foolish for trying to run it on 32 bit hardware with less than 2GB of RAM. Not the best advocacy strategy. But there it is. "
I never advocated such a position. I only said that the 32bit claim was questionable. The memory issue - I wouldn't know, but from what I understand, the more memory, the better. I never called the person foolish either. So don't make claims about me you cannot back up.
BTW, the link to mplayer, et. al for OpenSolaris from your blog helped make my stroll into OpenSolaris-land a more pleasant experience. Thanks for that.
Its interesting in that I came across it purely by accident. I've since now kept a back up copy incase the patent holders start threatening the website maintainer.

Kawai, I did not make any claims about you, and did not intend to. Please reread my post, considering it to be of a friendly nature.
