It's a Beautiful day, so why am I blogging?
Well, only because it's 100 freakin' degrees outside. So I've made uses of my time inside this weekend. I've already installed solaris 10 on this laptop (I'm using now), and I'm in the process of installing solaris 11 (aka Nevada build 18) on my desktop.
Thought what the heck, I can roll back easy enough, why not see what new features are in some of the latest builds. While I'm at it, set up a better partitioning scheme so that I can take advantage of live upgrades. I can't wait till full Janus support is incorporated into some of these releases.
So you may be asking, why am I such a solaris freak?
To be honest, I have been a very devout Linux user for years. First Slackware, later Gentoo, but after getting my hands on solaris 10, I have really grown to like many of the new features. SMF makes starting and stop services a breeze, RBAC I would equate to sudo on roids, Dtrace, and Zones ..wow, I actually felt butter flies just typing that.
