The `ZFS' file system alone makes it worth looking at... its a working system very similar to what linux community is trying with btrfs I guess you know that Oracle bought Sun. Some on the opensolaris lists have been pretty concerned about the fate of opensolaris. In the last few days some Oracle heavies have put it on line that Oracle plans to put more devel money into Opensolaris than Sun had been so many in that community are relieved. If you're interested, look for: Subject: Oracle Says OpenSolaris Will Stay Open Source On news.gmane.org under: gmane.os.solaris.opensolaris.general The only url have to hand is below but there were several others cited a fair bit more info in thead as well: http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3867776/Oracle+Says+OpenSolaris+Will+Stay+Open+Source.htm
