The Branded Zones community just
opened up on opensolaris.org. This is the underlying technology that enables you to create Linux zones on a Solaris system.

I wonder what else will they be able to emulate, right now, there is only some support for linux emulation, and you probably can get to emulate all the other bsd's without much work.
This technology makes some *business sence* as it lighten the costs of migrating linux (redhat and imitations rather), there is a little preformance tradeoff though.
It is also great for linux app devels who will now be able to use dtrace to debug their programs, it will also get those devels to know solaris (if they dont get traped by the branded zone) which will in the end be good for the opensolaris community.
They say an opensource project is about the code AND a community, well people, the code is already there and it's great, who wants in?
