Them's fightin' words ;) There are hard feelings (with good reason) between Illumos and Solaris. Oracle betrayed the OpenSolaris community and particularly their Open Source contributors when they closed Solaris. It was a very unethical thing to do. Bryan Cantrill spoke well on the reasons for and nature of the Illumos fork at LISA11: http://smartos.org/2011/12/15/fork-yeah-the-rise-and-development-of-illumos-2/ I am very happy that they remain binary compatible. I can immediately use Solaris 10 binaries on Illumos and in many cases Solaris 10 and 11 can run Illumos binaries. > In fact thanks for your advice I've been able > to use its packaged GHC on my Solaris 11 to compile some code and even > attempted the bootstrap of HEAD for Solaris/AMD64 platform.
