Look for the kernel to finally to be released next week. It has been a long road. We joined the OpenSolaris Pilot Project in December 2004 (after nearly a month of getting NDAs signed). Now, a year and half later the effort is about to pay off. Sometimes, things take time! The good news is that we have other important companies involved now. When you start to see this (under design services) and this (under embedded software) you can get a sense where this can go.  R&B

That was last month. Now it is September. We had a long talk with Tom Riddle of Sun Labs yesterday along with Sun's *new* Solaris on Power Program Manager. The Power port is getting some major attention from Sun - which is *one* reason why the release has been delayed. They will release the code for Power in exactly the same way they (finally) released it for x86. We think it will actually happen next week (we hope we are not re-posting again in a month! ). What Sun, IBM and others are realizing is that open source software yields better outcomes than proprietary software for both producers and customers. We think the trend will continue. Solaris on Power is a market builder because it means that the universe of people who are prepared to use and enhance their software gets bigger. Sun takes Solaris on Power seriously because there *is* a Power Community. Together, we are doing a good job. Plus, as you may have noticed, Sun has shifted emphasis to serving rather than controlling the user (via license). When all mixed together, "empowerment" sounds good. The freedom to share code has become more important than the freedom from paying for it. Let's get the participation going! R&B

Just to update a bit. Good news is that we now have clearance from legal for the code release so that part is behind us... You have probably figured out the suspense is killing us! R&B

Good news. Polaris is an exciting project for the Pegasos. Solaris is a a powerhouse step to add to the Peg's list of compatible Operating Systems. How will it be distributed? Will it be a netinstall or Optical Disk? Will you be able to boot from an FFS parition? magnetic |
