AT&T Archives: The UNIX Operating System

[mrknight]

I used Solaris on a previous job. Ii I remember correctly I had a Sunblade 1500. Really cool machines! And good looking too

I was so happy when I learned about the OpenSolaris project. This project was being promoted by Sun. The OS had some really nice features like Dtrace and the ZFS file system with a "time machine" so you can take snapshop of files and such.

So what happened to this obvious superior OS with a bright future? Oracle happened... After Oracle bought Sun nothing happened with OpenSolaris. It was quiet. And then Oracle decided to pull the plug. OpenSolaris died. I'm still not over this...

It it just me or does the ad bot attach the words "the plug" to an eBay listing for a "vibrating butt plug?"

I have an announcement: I wasn't me!
"My" link reach the same listing apparantly. I wonder how these ads are resolved.

I've heard of the project for quite some time. Maybe I should check it out now. One reason why I liked OpenSolaris is because of the same because it includes "Solaris". Yes, I am shallow...
