Nah kelar juga nih.. yooooo…. dah kelar nih. tinggal pake. Itu kalau mau coba mount cd tapi pengen repot pake compile-compile segala. Kalau mau simple sih ada tinggal download packages trus install.

Introduction to Crossbow

Crossbow provides the building blocks for network virtualization and resource control by virtualizing the stack and NIC around any service (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, NFS, etc.), protocol or Virtual machine.

Each virtual stack can be assigned its own priority and bandwidth on a shared NIC without causing any performance degradation. The architecture dynamically manages priority and bandwidth resources, and can provide better defense against denial-of-service attacks directed at a particular service or virtual machine by isolating the impact just to that entity. The virtual stacks are separated by means of H/W classification engine such that traffic for one stack does not impact other virtual stacks.

Project Crossbow is next step in the evolution of Solaris networking stack and brings bandwidth resource control and virtualization as part of the architecture itself instead of the usual add-on layers which have heavy overheads and complexity. Read the rest of this entry »

Review OpenSolaris, TheRegister.Co.UK

Review Sun has made good on its promise to deliver OpenSolaris, the company’s Unix-based answer to Linux, with a company-supported, commercial update arriving in mid-May. Although far from a complete product, the latest OpenSolaris is impressive and in the long run could prove a viable alternative to Linux.

Part of OpenSolaris’ appeal is that it contains a subset of the source code for the Solaris Operating System, but with an open source license. Among the familiar Sun features are the enviable DTrace tuning and monitoring tool and the ever-impressive ZFS filesystem, neither of which are likely to make it to Linux due to licensing and personality conflicts.

On the other hand, larger Linux efforts like Debian (which is the basis of Ubuntu) have an impressive range of open source software packages which, so far, OpenSolaris can’t match.

However, given that OpenSolaris can potentially expand its package support far more easily than Linux can start shipping a DTrace equivalent, OpenSolaris may prove a powerful competitor in the years to come.

As it stands we wouldn’t recommend OpenSolaris to the casual user; there’s enough gotchas and quirks to make running OpenSolaris a bit more of a headache than Linux (of course that largely depends on your hardware).

Still, given that much of OpenSolaris’ potential audience are developers interested in its underlying tools like Dtrace or “containers,” we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for advanced users. Just beware that the hardware driver support is nowhere near that of Linux rivals.

Ada review yang lain tentang OpenSolaris??

Wow hari ini coba installasi OpenSolaris 2008.05 release(testing mode). Dalam hal installasi, opensolaris punya beberapa kelebihan jika dibanding dengan beberapa operating system lainnya. Salah satunya adalah graphical mode, memang kayaknya OS ini kelak akan bisa menjadi kompetitor dari Linux bahkan mungkin Windows.

Ada beberapa tips setelah selesai installasi(ketika browser firefox terbuka maka ada pointer ke page yang berisi seperti ini).

This Getting Started guide provides instructions for installing and using the OpenSolaris^TM 2008.05 release, including the following topics:

• How to prepare for and to install the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release on your x86 system. See Roadmap.
• How to run the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release as a VirtualBox^TM guest operating system. See Running OpenSolaris Using VirtualBox.
• How to install packages and update existing packages on your installed or mounted system, including how to install developer tools such as NetBeans^TM 6.0.1, OpenOffice.org, and Sun^TM Studio Express 5/08. See Image Packaging System Documentation.
• How to upgrade your boot environment, and how to manage multiple boot environments. See Upgrading and Managing Your Boot Environments.

FYI package management di opensolaris terbilang bagus dan sudah include didalam release 2008.05 ini. Coba dulu ah nanti coba kasih preview lagi
