Now, if OpenIndiana resists using illumos...
openindiana is under the Illumos project umbrella. They aren't going to use anything else.
Eh? I was under the impression that they are separate and that Garrett Damore was rather unhappy with the initial direction of OpenIndiana in not preparing for an illumos release. 148 is still not illumos as far as I know.
afaik, both are still using pretty much the last opensolaris kernel with minor changes
or nice big changes from the standpoint of those who were pining for openindiana with b134+patches
I was going on this, which says OpenIndiana is a member of the Illumos Foundation, that Illumos was providing the core/kernel, and OpenIndiana is integrating it into a complete system aka distribution http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Frequently+Asked+Questions#FrequentlyAskedQue...
oh i see.
They go onto say they are waiting for Illumos to mature before they integrate it.
Yes...like getting g11n in. I guess traction is there already. OpenIndiana will be moving to illumos so i guess it would be the one to use if one wants a sun cc compiled and sun linked distro.
It's going to be interesting to see how all these different projects including CentOS play out.
