No Cost Resources

Over time, expect the teachers, developers, technical writers, and others in the OpenSolaris community to develop additional resources in support of research and academia. Now, Sun has several no-cost resources that help faculty, students and researchers to get the most from your participation in the OpenSolaris community.

These resources are free to use and we hope you find them useful. If you do download them and use them, we'd really appreciate your feedback – please let us know where you're using them and how you find them, at edu-discuss@opensolaris.org

Free Training

Through the Sun Academic Initiative (SAI), Sun provides free, web-based training to educational institutions on the Solaris Operating System.

Free Software and Development Tools

Educational institutions, researchers, and students can obtain no-cost licensing on Sun development tools and other Sun software products through the EduSoft Program.

Equipment Grants

Sun's Academic Excellence Grants (AEG) provide Sun hardware to educational institutions who have developed creative projects that address Sun investment priorities and create partnerships for success.

Sun Developer Network

The Sun Developer Network (SDN) supplies access to technical information on Solaris and other Sun technologies that support the entire development life cycle to increase developer productivity.

Student Developer Portal

The Student Developer Portal is a great place to find all of these and other resources from Sun.

Curriculum Development Guide

"An Introduction to Operating Systems, A Hands-On Approach Using the OpenSolaris project" is a document in three parts, produced by Michelle Olson, to enable computer science educators to incorporate the technology of OpenSolaris into a Computer Science curriculum. The document is in three parts, a cover, the instructor guide, and the student guide.
