Updates
with the university and everything I never seem to find time to write anything :(
I'm happy to write that the mozilla foundation have donated 10,000 us dollars to the OpenBSD project, so as much as i hated the OpenBSD guys went public about their financial problems, it seems to have worked
Also, it seems like I will have to buy a new book earlier than expected this year, hopefully, Solaris Internals will be released soon: the bad news is that with the rapid developement of Opensolaris these days, some of the info available in the book will be out of date. I would love to see this book released under Creative Commons as documentation for the community but I also know that the authors worked really really hhard to get this book done and they deserve to profit with the sales, i just hope the book is not expensive. Lots and lots of great things are happening in the Opensolaris community
On a side note, a guy in a mailing list told me solaris is 10 years behind linux, i didnt know if I should start laughing or answer, so i did a bit of both, my answer just said, "do you know what you're talking about?" Solaris is certainly lagging behind in some areas, specially drivers and sound but is far ahead from linux in API stability and kernel debugging among other things. Check this for example and you will know what I mean. After the same guy replied telling me he knew what he was talking about, I decided I would not respond since the thread had turned into a flamewar already (about Slackware's merits)
