openIndiana Description

OpenIndiana, an operating system developed by and for the illumos community is a branch of the UNIX-derived family tree. It can sometimes seem complicated. With a little bit of information and help, you'll find that it has some of the most user-friendly tools available. It can be controlled completely via a Command Line Interface shell like most Unix-derived operating systems, but it also supports windowing GUI systems. It supports several shells from the CLI, including ksh93, Bash, and many others. It supports the original SunOS SVR4 commands. This command and syntax family is familiar to BSD users. It also supports a large portion the GNU userland commands. You can choose any or all of these commands from your shell configuration to create the environment that you are most comfortable with.

    Frustrated

    Date: Nov 02 2023

    Summary: For the person who want to learn this operating system will be very difficult, and frustrated way to accomplish any level of expertise.

    Positive: It supposed to be Unix, as we know from Sun Microsystem's time. this operating system should be an opportunity to learn major base to developed something reliable and good.

    Negative: It does not support network interfaces very well. it does not support existing - well known and recently produced - pc brands. as an example i can point on hp compaq pro 6305 sff, or Dell Optiplex 755 series. difficulty to use certain commands. nobody wrote any book about operating system. none of the usb created .iso work for me. only dvd. documentation from oracle? to descriptive and not enough useful for the practice. too many features are hidden.
