There are lots of FUD, mainly from the IBM camp. They try to spread FUD that
Oracle is killing of SPARC, OpenSolaris, Solaris and what not. It is hard to
defend against this massive FUD. But we will do our best. :o)

I am hoping that the forthcoming release will be an important demonstration of
capability for the community and the status of opensolaris in the eyes of the
world. Clearly there is a considerable group of potential users out there
waiting for opensolaris to come of age (meet their requirements)
HAHA... Slashdot is at it again. I quote the website...
rubycodez writes Oracle, having acquired Sun Microsystems, including its Unix,
will no longer give away free Solaris licenses. Oracle also states that some
features of its Oracle Solaris will not appear in OpenSolaris, which means
I stopped reading slashdot a year ago, and I could not feel any better now. No
more BSD, Open/Solaris bashing. I've been a long time FreeBSD (386BSD,Freebsd)
adopter and a long time SunOS, Solaris admin and the main reason I switched to
Osol was getting closer to IPS, ZFS, CIFS and solaris on
If the quote you printed is accurate ...some features of its Oracle Solaris
will not appear in OpenSolaris... is right, then don't you have it wrong when
you say that was Sun's position?

They never said that it would be the development platform for all new
technologies. Solaris was always the commercial component and as such would
have technologies that would never be in OpenSolaris. I can think of a few
examples already in their storage product line.
Why would Oracle have
You are mixing things...
There is Solaris (10, currently), which in that past was forked, and that
new fork was the basis, of what became OpenSolaris (the OpenSource side).
From that development fork, some FEATURES are BACKPORTED into Solaris 10.
From that development fork, also BINARY

I guess, it has now been proven many times, that bsd is trying to spread FUD!
Can we now start to simply ignore him?
It's getting boring to repeat and repeat again, that he's simply wrong...
Just as an addition, w.r.t. the support option for OpenSolaris, read Jörg
Möllenkamp's blog at:
Hi Matt,
It's so nice to hear the sound of reason. I can only say good things about the
progress of OpenSolaris thus far and the gift we have of using it freely. So
let's be optimistic which helps create an even better OpenSolaris product and
Community.
Thanks,
Mike

Appreciated! Hopefully folks can muster up the strength to be patient, become
resilient to the FUD and look forward to a bright future!

Out of curiosity, since OpenSolaris is mostly open binary licenses and not
source code, what would happen if Oracle rescinded those licenses?

Yeah... replacing the legally encumbered bits over time isn't that much of a
stretch. What matters is that the kernel is open-source (which is the heart of
the OS and is the part that makes it stand out apart from Linux and BSD).

Hello all:
As of late, I have begun to notice increasing levels of pessimism and
grumbling amongst users (and former users) of OpenSolaris. As a glasses
half-full type, I would like to remind everyone that whining and complaining
about petty issues such as a delayed release for OpenSolaris

Exactly! And there is nothing holding Oracle back from adopting the Red Hat /
Fedora model of doing business. I actually would be surprised if Oracle did
anything to kill OpenSolaris as it would be a tremendous blow for public
relations. :)

It could be that too many nerds and geeks believe in the slashdot god and
panicked when slashdot announced the possible demise of OpenSolaris. Seriously
people? You trust a source that is based on user contributions? :p

I agree overall.
My only concern is that if the community say something (e.g. Next stable
release is 2010.02) that should be kept to as much as possible and any delays
should be frequently communicated to the community.
I've done my best to promote OpenSolaris where I am because I love the
I have recently been testing the competition and always come back to
opensolaris as a project which is professionally run and structured.I
understand that we operate in a 'now' society but the development of a quality
