Do you think SUNW is doing enough to integrate LINUX with SOLARIS? That would definitely be a 'yes', Eric. Sun has made Solaris 8 so that it sits next to Linux nicely. You can dual boot the two now and share files without needing an engineering degree. I'm looking forward to March for the production Solaris 8 to finally get to do that dual boot thing. Sun is positioning the low end Ultras for Linux. There are 4 separate Linux distro download links from the sun.com site itself. I'm seeing increasing availability of Ultra/Sparc linux binaries on the net. Sun (with the help of blackdown.org) has just won the Linux JDK war with the production release of Java 2. Coupled with the free Forte (Netbeans) javatool, Linux is now the Java development platform Sun wants it to be. Related... java.sun.com Hey, here's a new site in the right direction... solariscentral.org Will SUNW offer a LINUX/SOLARIS/UNIX hybrid OS? They already are merged. Linux developer/admins become Solaris/Java developer/admins. :) Syncopated riddems. Otherwise, licensing issues aside, they are far enough apart architecturally as to preclude that from happening. On one hand, Sun is keeping Linux at arms length as a 'brand' and on the other hand, they're pushing hard into the Linux community. Anyway, it all comes down to this... linuxapps.com <g> -JCJ
