Solaris 10 Update 1 released!
w00t! :)
Solaris 10 Update 1 (Solaris 10 1/06) is available for download.
let's list some of the features:
the Newboot start-up process featuring the GRUB bootloader for x86 platforms
full integration of Sun Update Connection
improvements to memory performance
networking performance improvements
hardware support improvements
this summary hardly does u1 any justice, so read the full official list from Sun Here.
with development going on on the wickedly kool features like ZFS and BrandZ (already available thru Solaris Express and OpenSolaris) Sun can look very proudly back on 2005 as perhaps the best year of development on the Solaris OS.
LibMicro released!
On OpenSolaris you can read all about the kool performance measuring tool set (LibMicro) which was used during Solaris 10 development.
Lib Micro measures various system and library calls and is being released as open source under the CDDL license.
go get the source code here !

Powerbook has a new keyboard
I am a happy user of a powerbook.
but it is a european version meaning it comes by default with some sort of international type of keyboard.
by that i mean that it is a qwerty one but some keys are not where you'd expect them to be at (keys like ~ and | which are used a lot when using terminals).
i've been waiting for a US keyboard to finally arive and this last friday, i finally had the time to go to Amsterdam to have the US keyboard installed.
even though i got used typing on the original keyboard i am much more happy with the US one.
DTracing linux
A couple of days back, BrandZ was introduced.
as if that wasn't exciting enough, now the DTrace crew have pulled another wickedly kool thing out of their hat, DTracing linux :)
this is the real deal, none of those crap DTrace wannabe implementations for linux.
keep the fantastic innovation coming guys.
