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! |
