I'm proud to announce that the first release of the OpenSolaris (TM)
operating system, OpenSolaris 2008.05 is now available to download
http://www.opensolaris.com/get/
As you'll notice, we've also launched a new site for users, www.opensolaris.com
.
OpenSolaris 2008.05 is a Live CD, allowing users to experience
OpenSolaris immediately, without the need to install it to their
systems. When ready, installation is a single click away with a new
improved easy-to-use installer. This release also introduces IPS, a
new network based package management system, allowing users to install
additional software from the network. ZFS is also the default root
file-system, allowing unique snapshot and rollback features,
especially useful during system upgrade. OpenSolaris 2008.05 has a
significantly improved user environment, in particular for those
familiar with other Linux distributions.
Try it out, report a bug and tell us what you think

The download is also available through a number of mirrors, listed
here -

and I'd like to thank the mirror maintainers for their continued
support.
I'd finally like to thank each and everyone who contributed to this
release, and the long hours they've put in over several months - you
guys rock!
Enjoy!
Glynn
