Nope. I didn’t get anything yet. They did say 3-4 weeks though, so I guess it’s still early. :)

I haven’t had either of those emails, and I did check my spamfilter :p

I think there’s something up with my mail server though, so I’m checking that out.

I got mine. Check your spamfilter and add starterkits <at> opensolaris dot org to your whitelist.

Or if you ordered the Solaris 10 kit, they will send a confirmation from no-reply <at> sun dot com.

Nah, Solaris is far from dead. They are still innovating, and doing interesting stuff with the system – like ZFS and etc…

Hmmm . . . I never played with Nexenta. Looks like they are running BrandZ in a container for all the Linux apps. Pretty cool! I wouldn’t do much in the container since I am already used to living in Solaris land, but this might be the hurdle needed to get back all the former Solaris people. I keep hearing Linux dweebs tell me Sun is dead and Solaris will never be able to regain their market share . . . we shall see.
