To all the Unix Officiando's,
Have any of you checked out the recent release of Sun's Solaris 10
source code known as OpenSolaris?
What are your thoughts on the subject?
Is the source code still considered to be based on SVR4?
Any likely chance of using Solaris source code to bring 32V or Version
7 of Unix into the modern world of x86 usage?
Thank you,
James Falknor

I did not check sources of Solaris 10 yet, but as an owner of many
Solaris 8/9 licenses I will certainly do it.
As far as Unix Version 7 is concerned I see some chances . Let us
consider such idea .
For example Coherent is based on Unix version 7. It has also support for
DKI/DDI driver interface (but not complete implementation). Solaris
drivers as far as I know use DKI/DDI. So there is some chance that at
least drivers could be in some way portable .
Probably using NetBSD would be also an alternative.
