If you want Ubuntu with a Solaris kernel, use Nexenta.
I'm interested in SVR4 plus, not Linux...or I'd run Linux.
Not to be elitist here, but I'd have to second this. What I'm looking
for in OpenSolaris is not the same things I'm looking for in Linux. I've
already got Linux, and it does those things just fine (or, well, good
enough, for the most part).
Like I've said in another post in this thead, I'd hope to see
OpenSolaris move towards emulating the OpenJDK project in terms of
management - I think that's entirely realistic, and doable, and should
please most interested parties.
That said, as far as technical goals go, I want three main focuses in
OpenSolaris:
(1) Standards compliance - maximum benefit for being *the* standard for
cross-platform development
(2) Ease of administration - good, solid, *consistent* ways to
administer large numbers of OpenSolaris machines with good tools for
troubleshooting and performance tuning, plus *top-notch* documentation.
(3) Novel and innovative technologies which I won't see anywhere else,
primarily focused on backend data server needs.
OpenSolaris has the opportunity to be *the* datacenter OS - free, open,
innovative, and (yes) profitable. We just have to all push in the same
direction for awhile...
