Interview with Simon Phipps

| GM: How do you see the relationship between OpenSolaris and
| GNU/Linux?
|
| SP: I think that there is a huge overlap in those worlds. One of
| the interesting things you discover when you run an OpenSolaris
| distribution like Nexenta is, my goodness, it looks just like Ubuntu.
| And you know, there's a really good reason for that: because it is
| Ubuntu, but it's got a Solaris kernel in it.

Checking out Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris

| I guess the appeal of Nexenta is... hmmm... I'm not really sure. It's
| running GNOME. It's brown. Looks an awful lot like Ubuntu. It's not
| using all GNU tools. Heck, it's not even using BSD tools. I mean,
| really, "ps ax" works on my mac and on my linux boxen. Does it work
| here? Nope. Gives me usage. The man page lies too.

Solaris can never be Linux

| Things haven't changed much at Sun. When Sun launched its
| OpenSolaris project in 2005 it used the Common Development and
| Distribution Licence - which is incompatible withb the GPL - and
| some system code was not released.
