OpenSolaris is the binary distribution of a mature, free and open source operating system, based around Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system. The history of OpenSolaris begins in 1983 (27 years ago!) when Sun released its own flavour of Unix named SunOS 1.0. In June 1992, SunOS was renamed Solaris.
With millions of installations all around the globe, Solaris is one of the most popular flavours of Unix in the world and is known for its scalability, security and stability. In 2005, Sun decided to open source the code base of Solaris and as the result of it, OpenSolaris was born. OpenSolaris is available for the x86 platform as well as the SPARC platform. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available and can be downloaded from http://www.opensolaris.com.
