Nexenta Sloaris + GNU/Linux



Nexenta is another OS. You'll say, ohh, again an Operating System. Well this is something little different. It is a blend of to popular and opensource OS to get the usability and power of both. Rather it can also be said that it is Debian/Ubuntu with a little variation at CLI. I mean the Kernel is from Open Solaris the Sun Microsystems' sponsored Unix OS, which is opensource as well, and the applications and packages from popular Linux distributions i.e. Debian or Ubuntu. Now the thing which comes out is called Nexenta.
It has packaging system based on APT, Advanced packaging Tool. So the repositories from Debian and Ubuntu can easily be used with it. The documentation part is pretty much complete with usual topics a Linux user can require to use a new OS. Just download its cd images from the download page, burn and install them. Well it is not for new commers it is for the people who always ready to take risks.
