What is OpenSolaris?
OpenSolaris is an operating system (OS), a source base, and a community. The project’s goals are innovation, collaboration, and the extension of OpenSolaris technology. Below are key OpenSolaris-related technologies: OpenSolaris Source Code: This is the source base for open development. It consists of several components called consolidations. See the downloads page for the technologies released and the roadmap for future releases. At present, the OpenSolaris source base is not enough to bootstrap an entire system, so developers start by downloading an OpenSolaris distribution and installing the OpenSolaris bits on top. OpenSolaris OS: This is a community-developed binary distribution of an operating system based on the OpenSolaris source code, and it’s the first release from Project Indiana. It runs on Intel and AMD processors on the server and desktop and as a storage platform. It is free to use, modify, and redistribute. Support is available from Sun Microsystems. Solaris Express Com
