OpenSolaris 2008.11 Released

The crew was so busy getting everything ready for OpenSolaris 2008.11 that they forgot to tell anyone they released it…… so, guess what: Download OpenSolaris 2008.11 Now!

For a great run through of new features, especially from a desktop perspective, please watch Roman’s excellent Whats New in OpenSolaris 2008.11 Screencast.

I know the docs team spent a lot of time on the docs kit for OpenSolaris 2008.11, but I can’t seem to find it… so, think of it as an easter egg, search and be amazed. I’m sure the docs are within the ISO itself.

If your interested in graffiti or modern art, or whatever, behold the new OpenSolaris shirt:

… judge for yourself.

UPDATE: I’m told by several sources that a big launch/announcement event is scheduled for next week, complete with blog blitz, etc. I therefore infere that they wanted to get the release out as close to Nov as possible and thus released early and quiet until the marketing hubbub could occur.

    Funny, I was just thinking that shirt is the ugliest thing I’ve seen for a long time…

    Say what? I think it’s quite striking. And no, I didn’t design it…

    Personally, I kind of like the shirt. Still, I miss the days of the orange and blue .org :-(

  7. benr says:

    Shawn: Those are the generic S10 docs that you can find on Docs.sun.com… there is an actual doc set specific to 2008.11 with “Whats New” and “Getting Start” guides, etc. (Helped review an edit some of ‘em 2 months ago.)

  8. Chris says:

    So where can we buy the shirt? :)

  9. Chris Steinke says:

    I have two of them from Sun Tech Days in Tokyo. There not too bad, but yea not as nice as the previous ones.

    Why can’t pkg find the eclipse package that should be available according to the what’s new page? I also tried the contrib repo but neither pkg nor the gui packagemanger can find it.

  11. benr says:

    ahe: You need to ask that on the opensolaris-help mailing list (opensolaris.org)… not in a blog comment.
