Q&A: Jonathan Schwartz, Sun Microsystems

For the longest time when we were delivering Solaris on Intel, people were saying to us, 'What are you doing that for? That's Microsoft's domain.' Well thank god we were doing that because the industry's really changed for us, and now we've got a full stack lined up. That allows us to go after some pretty interesting opportunities.

Cross-platform RPM-based packaging facility OpenPKG 1.3 released for Solaris 9/x86

The OpenPKG project released version 1.3 of their unique RPM-based cross-platform Unix software packaging facility. Well known by vigilant Unix system administrators, OpenPKG is the world leading instrument for deployment and maintenance of Open Source software when administration crosses Unix platform boundaries. OpenPKG 1.3 provides 400 selected packages which include proven versions of popular Unix software like Apache, BIND, GCC, GnuPG, MySQL, OpenSSH, Perl, Postfix, Samba and teTeX -- all carefully packaged for easy deployment on the officially supported Unix platforms FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.1, Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 and 3.0, Red Hat Linux 9, SuSE Linux 8.2, and Sun Solaris 8 and 9. Highlights in this version are a fully worked off run-command (RC) facility and the greatly increased package quality due to the rigorous application of fully automated package input checking against programmatically written down style, syntax and semantics constraints.

Interview with Leslie Stretch

The Sparc and Solaris commitment is contrary to the industry and will remain so. We believe there is profit and difference in it. Our Sparc story is about throughput - it's torque rather than revs - it's not clock speed in the real world that matters, it's torque.

But we do have to do some clever things, like our x86-based systems, we're pushing that forward aggressively. We don't have enough people to talk to all the customers that want to hear about Solaris x86 as a low cost computing strategy. That's really encouraging
