Paul Murphy of ZD Net said, “It’s an example of things to come, things that scare IBM and Red Hat: a complete ZFS bootable OpenSolaris distribution combining the GNU and other open source utilities with a Solaris kernel -and it’s downloadable free of charge from opensolaris.org.” (1) I have to admit that one of my personal turn offs to Solaris has been its ugly interface, but with the Ubuntu face and ZFS file system; this could be the next huge *nix distro.

I am looking forward to testing it out and seeing how it works. I think that name is lacking, but hey I am sure that is that people thought when they first heard of Ubuntu.
