OpenSolaris 2008.11 is now available. As we've shared in our early look at OpenSolaris 2008.11 and OpenSolaris 2008.11 starts coming together articles, there are a number of updates in this Sun operating system worth talking about.

Some of the feature updates include a time-slider Nautilus extension for looking at files from different points in the past through the ZFS file-system, improved suspend and resume, Distribution Constructor and Prototype Automated Installer, GNOME 2.24, OpenOffice.org 3.0, Firefox 3.0, and many other changes.

OpenSolaris 2008.11 can be downloaded from OpenSolaris.org. In the coming days we'll have more news about what features can be found in the next release, OpenSolaris 2009.04.
