[wellylug] OpenSolaris 2008.11

[Rob Giltrap]

Hi All,

I've been playing with the final release of OpenSolaris 2008.11 the last 
couple of days and (in my biased view) it's pretty damn good. The 
2008.05 was truly a 'first release' with a lot of bells and whistles 
missing but the latest release really brings it up to speed with the 
latest Ubuntu and Fedora while providing those special OpenSoalris 
features like ZFS (Timeslider) & Dtrace.

I have it installed on my Toshiba M10 notebook and everything works as 
it should (video, wireless, power saving etc).

The best overview of this release is provided in a 12 minute video 
webcast at:

Well worth a look before you head off to...
