openSolaris Build 57

openSolaris has come a long way. Really.

Recently tried build 57 (had to cut a DVD from a huge image of about 2.7GB) on my Sun Ultra 40.

UI is exquisite.

I tried the developer edition and it bundles a host of applications for developers such as Netbeans 5.5, Sun Studio 11, App Server 9.0U1 etc. etc. Overall, very satisfactory.

I only wish KDE was available for Solaris easily. KDE really rocks.
