James Gosling: on the Java Road (Free subscription) | 06/10/2008
At home I use ZFS+NFS on a Solaris box to make a file server that provides disk space to all the other machines at home, which are mostly MACs. I use NFS to access the files instead of AFS because it's so much faster. A friend and I were talking about this over the weekend and he was surprised: OS X is notoriously tricky to configure to use NFS. They have a nonstandard way to manage automount maps...

As I’ve written before , I’ve been working on FFmpeg to make it build with the Sun Studio Express compiler, under Linux and then under Solaris. Most sincerely, while supporting multiple (free) operating systems, even niche Unixes (like Lennart likes to call them) is one of the things I spend a lot of time on, I have little reason to support multiple compilers. FFmpeg on the other hand tends to support...

Joerg Moellenkamp’s post explaining CacheFS has me excited: Long ago, admins didn’t want to manage dozens of operating system installations. Instead of this they wanted to store all this data on a central fileserver (you know, the network is the computer). Thus netbooting Solaris and SunOS was invented. But there was a problem: All the users [...]

Pingdom had posted this post. This post is about the desktop operating systems that fly under the radar of most people. We are definitely not talking about Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, or even BSD or Solaris. There are much less mainstream options out there for the OS-curious.

The New York Times suggests that Sun's Solaris operating system may be falling out of favor. " Sun officials believe the 16-year-old Solaris platform remains a pivotal, innovative platform. But at the Linux Foundation, there is a no-conciliatory stance; the attitude there is to tell Solaris and Sun to move out of the way. "The future is Linux and Microsoft Windows," says foundation Executive Director...

Linux is enjoying growth, with a contingent of devotees too large to be called a cult following at this point. Solaris, meanwhile, has thrived as a longstanding, primary Unix platform geared to enterprises. But with Linux the object of all the buzz in the industry, can Sun's rival Solaris Unix OS hang on, or is it destined to be displaced by Linux altogether? The case for Solaris's demise Sun officials...
