In the begining there was darkness... . . .

Pardon the pun. Just trying to find some nice way of introducing the OpenSolaris sun.

0001hrs,
7th July, 2009.
Just started installing OpenSolaris 9.06 on my virtual machine, specs:
1.6 GHz, 512 MB Ram, 20 GB Virtual hard disk.

First impressions are that OpenSolaris have a very pretty installation screen, matter of fact, seems like even PC-BSD have a kick ass installation screen, but thats a different story for a different blog post.
Hoping to turn this from just a fantasy into a workable OS. Solaris has UNIX pedigree and the backing of one of my all time favourite tech companies. Combine that with a bleeding edge internet mirror network, close association with some of the open source worlds best projects in the name of Virtualbox, OpenOffice.org, MySQL. I really think that this could work.
