The Next Sun OS Release Is OpenSolaris 2009.06

Posted by Michael Larabel on February 09, 2009

OpenSolaris 2008.11 is currently the latest community operating system release from Sun Microsystems, but by this summer it will be released with OpenSolaris 2009.06. OpenSolaris is updated in a six-month release cycle, but the next release name is being called OpenSolaris 2009.06 and will ideally make it out by the end of May.

A preview release of OpenSolaris 2009.06 can be found at Genunix and is based upon the Solaris Express Community Edition 106a code-base. The announcement of the 2009.06 name can be found here. Hopefully this next OpenSolaris release is able to improve the AMD Opteron performance.
