I always like to get this freebie when it comes out. I already had the CD’s of 2008.5 and 2008.11. Now I have 2009.6! I booted it up inside a VirtualBox and I am impressed so far. The stability of the Solaris kernel combined with the userland that you come to expect from Sun. I still feel that the tools around it need a bit of work. Then, one has to remember this isn’t Ubuntu.
Either way, if you haven’t asked for your free CD and are interested in trying out this quite nice OS to develop on, go grab the CD from the Open Solaris CD Order Form. It costs nothing, even the P&P is free.
