A week ago we reported that a second preview release of
Project Indiana, Sun's attempt at creating an operating system for the
desktop based upon OpenSolaris and led by Ian Murdock, was on track to
be released in the near future. Thursday afternoon that became true with
the test image surfacing for Developer Preview 2 of Project Indiana, or
what will formally be called OpenSolaris. Officially, this new release
is known as the OpenSolaris Developer Preview 1/08 edition. The general
availability release of Project Indiana is expected in March, but today
we have up a tour of this new Indiana release.
