Schwartz sees a beautiful future together for Linux and Sun's own Solaris -- and he wants Linus to bring the wine
Linux leader Linus Torvalds has finally found something that could convince him that the forthcoming version 3 of the General Public License is worth adopting: open-source Solaris.
In an effort to spur adoption of Solaris, Sun Microsystems has begun a project code-named Indiana to try to give its operating system some of the trappings of Linux.
Sun Microsystems is considering releasing its Solaris operating system under the General Public License, executives said on Monday in the US, raising the possibility of cross-pollination with Linux.
Red Hat on Friday released a test version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, its first product to incorporate the Xen virtualisation technology.
On the last day of JavaOne, the Sun vice president shares exotic uses of the software, like dancing robots and underwater exploration vehicles.
Trying to take a more active role in open-source programming, Red Hat has created a team of 34 programmers to work on nothing but next-generation software.
Industry watchers claim Sun Microsystems is playing a dangerous game with its decision to position Solaris as open source -- a move which will see it go head to head with Linux.
