Nexenta OS: Debian based GNU/Solaris ==========================
This is to announce Nexenta OS: the Debian based GNU/Solaris distribution. We'll open Nexenta web developer portal completely for the general public by mid-November. Today we are launching a Pilot Program. Solaris developers and the entire OpenSolaris community - you are welcome to participate in the Pilot! What is Nexenta OS today ================= Several things: 1) A working prototype that runs on our 32-bit laptops and AMD64 box; the latter is used for development of the system itself, and it in turn runs our entire development environment, and hosts the web portal (below). 2) 2,300 Debian packages available for immediate usage. 3) Developer's portal at http://www.gnusolaris.org - fully functional, with downloads, APT repository, discussion forums, developer's "hack zone", bug database, blogs, and numerous Solaris and free software resources. This will be 100% open and free-of-any-charge easy-to-install easy-to-use distribution. Coming out soon! For Developers ========== There are probably very few projects that can come anywhere close to Nexenta OS, in terms of the size, complexity and openness. The Nexenta project offers a rare opportunity to take part in something as big as this mega-project at its early stage - and make a meaningful contribution, ranging from selected improvements and up to... well, the sky's the limit. Contact ===== If interested, please send e-mail to <support at nexenta.com>, and tell us a few words about yourself. We'll respond with a user/password. Thanks!
