Sun has released the results of Project Indiana as OpenSolaris. While this is has been a heavily debated decision amongst OpenSolaris users and developers alike, the release has been made. There are some very interesting components in this release, such as IPS, ZFS boot, new installer, etc. However, I must point out that this release does not cover the SPARC platform and does not take into account installation methods such as Jumpstart. This is definitely a different cut of the Nevada code and a divergence from the Solaris and Solaris Express methodologies. It'll be interesting to see how things play out as this new distribution evolves. I'll have to take this for a spin on my laptop or inside VMware.
