MichaelTitle: Welcome to OpenIndiana
Welcome to OpenIndiana Hipster!
OpenIndiana is an illumos based Unix-like distribution derived from OpenSolaris. Constructed as a general purpose operating system with enterprise class features, OpenIndiana Hipster is developed by the community, and for the community.
OpenIndiana obtains its name from Project Indiana, an open source effort by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation) to produce OpenSolaris, a community developed Unix-like distribution based on Sun Solaris. Project Indiana was led by Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian Linux Distribution.
Some of the differences between OpenIndiana and OpenSolaris can be characterized as follows:
- Sun's OS/NET consolidation (closed by Oracle) has been replaced with illumos-gate.
- Many of the original OpenSolaris software consolidations have been reorganized into a single oi-userland consolidation.
- Oracle's Sun Studio has been replaced with the open source GNU GCC compiler.
- XVM (XEN) has been replaced with the illumos-kvm port.
