Tab Update: OpenSXCE May 2014 Distribution

Abstract: 

Sun Microsystems created OpenSolaris on May 8 in 2008 as an Open Sourced version of it's enterprise and managed services grade Solaris operating system. In 2010, Sun was acquired by Oracle, OpenSolaris project was closed, Community based OpenIndiana was born, and the Oracle Solaris Express binary release program was officially re-instantiated. Independent maintainer Martin Bochnig produced his own Intel and SPARC release of MartUX in 2006, produced the first (and last) SPARC release of OpenIndiana in 2012, and later forked (and maintaining) his own SVR4 package based SPARC and Intel distributions called OpenSXCE. The most current OpenSXCE release is now 2015.05... perhaps the first OpenSolaris based SPARC distribution which offers USB boot support!

Tab Update: OpenSXCE March 2013 Distribution


[OpenSXCE  by Martin Bochnig]
Added to Network Management - a new tab: OpenSXCE !

OpenSXCE

OpenSolaris grew from an Open Source repository to Open Solaris Distribution (for both Intel and SPARC.) Solaris Express Community Edition (Solaris SXCE) was the Intel/SPARC forerunner of Oracle Solaris 11, which abandoned UltraSPARC processors. OpenSXCE, based upon the work of MarTUX, brings OpenIndiana and Illumos back to SPARC as a full distribution, based upon standards such as SVR4 packaging.
