I'd like to do some tpc-c like test with mysql in a opensolaris zone,
for some research.
But it looks to me, that building against ips mysql, would ne sun studio

Whatever.
Anyway, what has really irritated me to no end is calling it Oracle Solaris
everywhere. You bought the company that created it; you didn't invent it. I
don't go around calling it IBM AIX, DEC Ultrix, HP Tru64, or SGI IRIX.
And I didn't call it Sun Solaris, it was just Solaris.

I've stopped holding my breath. The question of when the next major release of
OpenSolaris would come out was asked at an Sun-Oracle Briefing in Adelaide
today. The answer from Angus MacDonald, Chief Technology Officer, ANZ Systems
was Quarter 4.
However he didn't say which year :-)

At least there was hard info from them finally. But considering Oracle's
fiscal year just started, I'd guess Q4 means another 9 months, given that Q4
for the last fiscal year has ended without a release.
If it is that long, they don't need to release it, nobody will be around to
care.

The problem with that newsletter is that Oracle's intentions with OpenSolaris
are still unclear. When I read it I get this out of it:

Hello,
This was also asked a few months ago, in which 'a person' from Oracle stated
around Sept 2010 - near the timeframe of the Solaris 10u9 release. Other rumors
speculate Nov 2010.
This was really what was known as Oracle Solaris 11 - moreso than just the

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes I want to do a clean install of an OS but
without loosing the data on existing partitions. I am hoping that Sun
eventually releases Solaris 11- with the benefits of OpenSolaris (improved
desktop, updated GCC, virtualization etc) but with the command line

Except that that doesn't give you an entitlement. You still need to buy a

Well I don't think that policy works in this instance since:

Assuming that you are running current bits and CUPS is your active print
service, It should work. It looks like your printer is supported by the
version of gutenprint that is in OpenSolaris. You should be able to use
