Hey, After a great couple of days at OSCON, here's the latest and greatest news from OpenSolaris. In particular you should note that the 2nd edition of Solaris Internals is now available, along with the 1st edition of Solaris Performance and Tools. Go get it - I'm off to search around MPK for a copy to bring home!
