Another Word for Nerd

Looks like the public version of OpenSolaris.org is now up, with the DTrace source code available for download under the CDDL.

As an OpenSolaris Pilot Program participant, I’m looking forward to the arrival of my newest test/build machine from AnySystem so that I can get my own build up and running, just like Ben Rockwood:

    Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.10.1    CUDDLISH        Jan. 25, 2005

    SunOS Internal Development:  benr 2005-01-25 [workspace]
    bfu'ed from /export/workspace/archives
    /sparc/nightly on 2005-01-25
    Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.10      Generic January 2005

    benr@betty ~$ uname -a
    SunOS betty 5.10.1 CUDDLISH sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2

Ben has also posted a screenshot from his OpenSolaris workstation.

Big news coming on the OpenSolaris front today. I’ve been a member of the pilot program for a couple of months now, but look forward to getting settled-in here in Houston and increasing my participation…
