Two years after Solaris 11.3 and Oracle opting for a "continuous delivery" model of 11.next updates instead of a "Solaris 12", Solaris 11.4 is out the door today...

Don't wait around for any performance benchmarks of Solaris 11.4 on Phoronix as their post-Sun license terms for Solaris still has, "disclose results of any benchmark test results related to the Programs without our prior consent."

But doesn't that mean you can ask them to let you benchmark the OS?

Tried before with Oracle, they would only let results they cherry-pick be made public (a.k.a. any results where they win).

Benchmark against Oracle Linux. Guaranteed victory.

Rest of the world: Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Kebabbert is no more. He was basing on invalid benchmarks: SAP results are not comparable.

Cannot update to it due to certificate issue, and looks like I'm not the only one in that case...

But what if I do benchmarks with phoronix test suite and publish them here in forum? I live in a country where this clause won't stand in court.

Go ahead. It'd be interesting

We can start betting is this a last solaris, or there will be another final exhalation. I bet the former. Sad!
