OpenSolaris 2009.06: Getting Better All The Time
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the weekend, I had the chance to take a look at Sun Microsystems‘ latest
| OpenSolaris 2009.06, which it released during last week’s JavaOne conference.
| The last time I had a look at OpenSolaris, it was just over a year ago, back
| in May of 2008.
|
| Much as it is with community Linux releases such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora or
| OpenSUSE, OpenSolaris 2009.06 is an evolutionary, rather than a revolutionary
| improvement over the initial 2008.05 build. All the major open source
| packages have been refreshed, as it is to be expected, and for the most part,
| OpenSolaris provides a comparable user experience to most Linux
| distributions.

OpenSolaris 2009.06 Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| For the most part there are not many performance changes to be spotted in the
| 26 tests we ran using the Phoronix Test Suite. In some tests like
| GraphicsMagick, the newer GCC 4.3.2 compiler that is available via the Image
| Packaging System was a big help, while in other tests the newer GCC 4.x
| compiler actually led to a performance regression. Besides that there is not
| too much to illustrate with today's tests. Shortly we will have a new round
| of Ubuntu Linux vs. OpenSolaris testing.
