Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris The Register has reviewed OpenSolaris, and concludes: "Sun has made good on its promise to deliver OpenSolaris, the company's Unix-based answer to Linux, with a company-supported, commercial update arriving in mid-May. Although far from a complete product, the latest OpenSolaris is impressive and in the long run could prove a viable alternative to Linux."

YES! lets invent brand new shit, to replace what we currently have developed over the past 40 years, which works pretty damn good.

I KNOW! lets all have a big f--king teletubbie doll with a touchscreen in its belly, then we can have various hotkeys located around its body. OH! i got one more stroke of brilliance going here, maybe instead of having a reset button, we just have a G-meter in its head, and if we punch it really hard in the head, it means we want a cold reboot!

YES! this will be a worthy replacement of my 40 year old /sbin/reboot.

All I meant was that there are 40 year old flaws clogging up what otherwise works well. 40 years ago, they probably weren't flaws, they probably made a lot of sense. I just find it ridiculous that in an industry were hardware can change radically over the course of a year or two, we're still using 40 year old software.
