edit info

OpenSolaris is an open source project created by Sun Microsystems to build a developer community around Solaris Operating System technology. It is aimed at developers, system administrators and users who want to develop and improve operating systems. As of June 2007, more than 60,000 community members are registered on OpenSolaris.org with only around 2,000 members being employed by Sun Microsystems. An active OpenSolaris User Group community is now growing worldwide, and dozens of OpenSolaris technology communities and projects are being opened on opensolaris.org.

OpenSolaris is derived from the Unix System V Release 4 codebase, and has significant modifications made by Sun since it bought the rights to the codebase in 1994. It is the only open source System V derivative available.

Open sourced components are snapshots of the latest Solaris release under development. Future versions of Solaris will be based on technology from the OpenSolaris project.

Amazon EC2 now offers OpenSolaris on its servers
