Welcome to the new OpenSolaris.com website! A destination for users of the new OpenSolaris release to start conversing, creating, and collaborating on the innovative open source OS. Over time this site will expand to become the center for OpenSolaris users to share and showcase their innovations on OpenSolaris.

Why use the OpenSolaris OS you ask? It's pretty simple, you'll find it full of unique features like the new Image Packaging System (IPS), ZFS as the default filesystem, DTrace enabled packages for extreme observability and performance tuning, and many many more. See OpenSolaris datasheet for more details. We think you'll be quite happy you came by to take a look!
