SchilliX 0.3 has been released. The announcement was made on #opensolaris (and the 'real' announcement is here), and it stated that SchilliX is close to having a self-hosted platform now; one that is not Sun-supplied. Schillix 0.3 features build 27a with ZFS support of the OpenSolaris kernel. Download here. Elsewhere, here are some first impressions on the just-released Nexenta OS alpha 1.

That's a very good comment, many Linux geeks spread FUD.
I know Sun doesn't want us to use proprietary software. They have Open Office and now OpenSolaris. They would rather we bought their commercial versions, but they would rather we used the open ones than MS Office and Windows.
But I do like to spread uncertainty and doubt about Sun, personally, because if you aren't affraid, if you don't consider the possibility that Sun isn't looking out for you, or doesn't actually care about Open Source, you might give Sun more money than they deserve.
Sun has recently fixed a lot of the problems with their business, so I'm not nearly as affraid as I was around 2002. But I still don't trust them.
However, I do trust them more than Microsoft, FWIW.
I'm just worried about the businesses Sun likes to partner with, like Microsoft and SCO. Why not partner with IBM and HP? That would certainly make me feel more comfortable.
