Phoronix: A Very Early Look At OpenSolaris 2010.02

OpenSolaris 2009.06 was released earlier this year, but unlike in years past and contrary to their original six month release cycle, there will not be another OpenSolaris distribution release in 2009. Instead, the next slated release is OpenSolaris 2010.02, which should be out in early February of next year. It is far too early to speculate everything that this next Sun operating system will have in store, but we do have some screenshots off a recent SXCE build and other details.

OpenSolaris 2010.02 will for sure have Boomer integrated (new OSS implementation) comparing to 2009.06.

that's not SXCE ;)

Regarding KMS; the xorg side probably won't be a problem, but KMS needs new kernel modules so Intel might actually be the only option for some time. Expect support for the other vendors to follow shortly after the BSDs introduce it.
