Title: OpenSolaris 2008.05 Gives A New Face To Solaris ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "In early February, Sun Microsystems had released a second

preview release of Project Indiana. For those out of the loop, Project

Indiana is the codename for the project led by Ian Murdock at Sun that

aims to push OpenSolaris on more desktop and notebook computers by

addressing the long-standing usability problems of Solaris. We were far

from being impressed by Preview 2 as it hadn't possessed any serious

advantages over a GNU/Linux desktop that would interest normal users.

However, with the release of OpenSolaris 2008.05 "Project Indiana"

coming up in May, Sun Microsystems has today released a final test copy

of this operating system. Our initial experience with this new

OpenSolaris release is vastly better than what we had encountered less

than three months ago when last looking at Project Indiana."
