Today, I just got something called the "OpenSolaris Starter Kit." I've been waiting forever to get this kit. I got a warm feeling inside, like getting a present from the mail. If you do not know what OpenSolaris is, I'll give you a brief explanation. OpenSolaris is the result of the company Sun Microsystems, making the bulk of one of their core products open-source. That product was the Solaris operating system, based on Unix System V. OpenSolaris is completely free of charge. You can get it from http://www.opensolaris.org/.
Now, I'll briefly explain to you the starter kit. The starter kit is mainly for developers who want to develop applications for Solaris. The kit is comprised of two DVDs. The first DVD contains Learning Materials, some LiveCDs (a way for you to boot and use an operating system straight from the CD), and the OpenSolaris source code. The second DVD contains something which I still don't quite understand what it is: the Solaris Express Community Edition. I'll check this out as I go along in the coming weeks. You can check it out at http://www.opensolaris.org/.
