...Which hasn't gone anywhere after Genesi killed the ODW ("open desktop
workstation"), the PS3 as the target wasn't accepted, and finally it was
determined that the POWER hardware, the next logical target, was way too
expensive. Which it is.
Some work has been done on porting OpenSolaris to EFIKA, but as far as I know,
that didn't get very far. Porting is a serious business, and the project is
hurting from lack of human resources; don't expect to see any Polaris ISO
images available for download any time soon.
PS3 is the target which is abundant enough and makes the most sense to port to,
after all, would wouldn't want to be able to run Sun cluster on a pile of PS3s,
or use a PS3 workstation but be able to run a game after a long day of work,
but there isn't enough PS3 HW know-how to go around for that. At least not for
OpenSolaris, at least not right now.
A shame, really. What a pity.

I'll tell you one thing: if any of the BSDs had any clustering solution akin to
Sun or Veritas cluster, And the Solaris became irrelevant, I'd start using BSD
immediately, just so I didn't have to end up on GNU/Linux!
