Previewing the Next Solaris OS 278
Eric Boutilier writes "Amy Rich has written an excellent Solaris Express (Solaris 10) how-to and general overview. It covers how the program works, using the community web site, and what's new in Solaris Express." Among many new features, the TCP/IP stack has been redesigned, IPv6 support improved, and both NFSv4 and USB 2.0 support added.
Program? (Score:4, Funny)
But can you run this program called Solaris 10 on Linux? Or do you need wine for that?

* Linux = for bandwagon tossers who use their computer for the sole purpose of fucking with their computer.
* Plan9 = for those with no apps to run who want the nostalga of not being able to run anything on Linux.
* Darwin = for those who bought Apple but wished they'd really bought a x86 machine to run FreeBSD.
* Windows XP = the OS of choice for professionals. Professional clowns, that is.
* OSX = the best OS to run on expensive ornamental paperweights that can't actually run any apps.
- good -
* Windows 2000 = the desktop OS of choice for people who want to do actual work with their computer.
* FreeBSD = the server OS of choice for people who just want the damn thing to be as reliable as possible.

That's CDE on Solaris 8 -> Gnome Solaris 9 and the users love it. Needs a bit of stability tweaking though it isn't bad. Also a current revision would be nice.

That's right, Sun should keep KDE away from Solaris boxes. Experienced CDE-users could have a breakdown if they are suddenly exposed to a desktop with more than four settings

But seriously, ebay/sun/solaris is perfect way to run a small home or business op. Friends/family all have nice relaiable web and email services cheap and I have a place to play with my root.

I quote: "Darwin, isn't my thing, I'll wait for my PowerBook and run the real thing on it."
Here's your question for today: does "the real thing" in the above sentence refer to:
(a) OS X
(b) OS X
(c) OS X

Did anyone else read this as s-uninstall? I was wondering why it was so important to include an uninstall option right away, and to feature it so prominently in the article. :-)
