Posted by Michael Larabel on November 08, 2008

For those interested in helping out Sun Microsystems with testing out the near-final build of OpenSolaris 2008.11, its release candidate is now available. This build is based upon Build 101a of the open-source OpenSolaris code-base. We previously offered a preview of OpenSolaris build 99.

The OpenSolaris 2008.11 release candidate announcement and Torrent download links can be found on the OpenSolaris mailing list. If you want to give us a hand, you can also test out OpenSolaris 2008.11 with Phoronix Test Suite 1.4 "Orkdal".
