Thin myth busted

Intel just don't get it. The myth that Sun Rays doesn't perform is busted.

OOM Linux kernel joke

OOM is a nice feature in the Linux kernel (not). What a joke that OS is.

Core dump?

This is an extreme amount of cores that Sun will dump on us and shows that they are really ahead of the game. This will make a brilliant server for virtualization.

IPS

Managed to make a fool of myself today mixing up blastwave.org with blastwave.network.com in a question on the opensolaris.org indiana forum. I'm although not convinced that blastwave.org is fully operational as IPS package repository for an updated OpenSolaris 2008.05 installation i.e. one upgraded to snv_91.

OpenSolaris rules

There was another one of those "Blame OpenSolaris for all you can think about" articles on /. today http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/24/1723226

I find it most amusing that the Linux kids never grow up enough to work with real UNIX. It's as if everything isn't exactly as in their favorite distro, it's bad. And then they blame OpenSolaris for their own shortcomings. And throw up on ZFS just because. Is it to much Jolt, or?

Ranting about that they cannot add whatever they want is so kiddish. Solaris is a state of the art UNIX system and one of the most stable environment around. There must be control and if that's to hard to understand, stay with the toys.

VirtualBox

The acquisition of German based Innotek with its VirtualBox was a nice move by Sun. I'm now downloading it for both OpenSolaris and Windows XP to test run OpenSolaris on XP and XP on OpenSolaris (plus some Ubuntu I think). Will be interesting...

Symptomatic???
