-borrowing things like Bill gates
perhaps but opensolaris is run developed with sun not against them
Here is rk stirrin' up an old post..

OpenSolaris is Solaris model of the
RedHat/Fedora
Suse/OpenSuse
models..

OpenSolaris is *also* the proving grounds for the new package management system that *might* show up in Solaris 11...

Sun hired Ian (creator of Debian Linux).. hmm.. package management.. sounds like Sun is following suite like all the other *BSD's and Linuces..

Borrowing from Linux is more like it..

Ian's apt-get package management system is now IMHO the defacto standard on the most popular Linuces..

There are different flavors of OpenSolaris as previously stated; however, I only use the OEM release since that is what we use at work..


And Corey.. OpenSolaris aint Linux ..
