OpenSolaris 2008.11 Finally Arrived

OpenSolaris 2008.11 has finally arrived yesterday, but in December(12) not November (11). Anyway, the installation was pretty smooth on my Sun xVM VirtualBox.

Previous OS 2008.05 was not very pleasant because the Package Manager GUI could not be launched for no reason. 2008.11 seems to be pretty good and now I am sitting in the coffee shop downloading Sun Studio.

There is a lot good stuff in this new release, example, ZFS Time Slider (something like MacOSX's Time Machine)
