Tried it and installed it on the system in July.. a big irony that it doesn't has OpenOffice.Org as SUN is behind this office suite..

Its an advanced server grade operating system made by Sun Microsystems. Its one of the most advanced OSes out there, and has this very cool file system called ZFS. It doesn't have enough software for desktop use, and thats its main drawback. However, its an awssome server.

Sathish · 30-09-2008, 10:44 PM

oh.. is there any site/ebook/ to learn basic opensolaris..

anyhow.. thanks for quick reply...
