Is there a GUI frontend grandma can use for ZFS snapshot management/file rollbacks? Is there an IDE which integrates Dtrace support? I realize this isn't what OSOL is targetting (servers, from all the talk I see, is the main priority for OSOL devs), but it's what will get the most visibility. Joe Blow isn't going to have a clue what OpenSolaris is, probably not even Solaris. They'll know a mac when they see one though. :) Perhaps the OSOL project could *learn* from "Apple Marketing", because to be quite frank, they are doing VERY well. :) Emulating their wise choices would be a good thing for OSOL (no need to falsify dates of course... although arguably since the dev previews going out have dtrace/time machine in them... 2006 is correct. OSOL is very much a "dev preview" type of OS. Not as unstable as 10.5.preview undoubtably, but still very much alike.) > (actually did they give OpenSolaris a name check at all when they > mentioned DTrace ?) Nope, not that I can see. Apple's pretty notorious for that kind of "oversight". I used to work for them, I know first hand how hat-tipping doesn't occur very often. > > http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/xcode.html > > Hrm.

I'd be MUCH happier if they USE ZFS, because I've had a LOT of volume corruption with HFS+.
