Can we may expect some sort of new global joint venture opportunity for the best OS in the world ? may a beta release in 2010 as let's call it "FreeSUN_BSD_Open-XXX_PRERELENG-0.98-p1" in witch case all the "xview" depended ports may work again ????? Hanno / in the future.... Sun is Open Sourcing Solaris OS Today, June 14, 2005, is Opening Day for OpenSolaris. http://www.opensolaris.org/ Initially, the OpenSolaris project will provide the core kernel, libraries and commands that are currently distributed with the Solaris OS. Over time, it is expected that additional parts of the Solaris OS will be made available through the project. The main difference between the OpenSolaris project and the Solaris Operating System is that the OpenSolaris project does not provide an end-user product or complete distribution. Instead it is an open source code base, build tools necessary for developing with the code, and an infrastructure for communicating and sharing related information. Support for the code will be provided by the community; Sun offers no formal support for the OpenSolaris product in either source or binary form. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCswazBG3FBOpOS2oRAgipAJ0WmNZJGlKCobsAvyLEVV/r2UEQrgCgqJg4 iUgSBKGC/6zK97WrotW0xko= =uqm1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
