Sun Promises Regular Open Source Solaris Updates

,----[ Quote ]
| "We see it as one platform, two releases," he said during a press roundtable 
| at the JavaOne conference. Solaris is the stable platform with long-term 
| support for long-term mission-critical application deployment, while the open 
| source version is the fast-evolving, innovative operating system that reaches 
| out to developers and computer science students who want to learn about the 
| technology.

With Fedora and RHEL it's different. You can get CentOS. Sun's plot is becoming
to show.

Well, but Sun intends to sell non-Free software around it. Same with MySQL.

| Sun first announced OpenSolaris in 2005 but they keep finding ways to
