Comment Surprised by this on frontpage (Score 1) 409

Original article dated 31 July (month ago!), has only two facts (about JRuby developers and IBM migration program) and lot more of FUD.

JRuby fate was already discussed on slashdot and there is nothing new on IBM program. Every vendor has these, every vendor offer iniciatives toward purchasing his wares.

OTOH, if IBM really offering 64k$ for single-socket CMT server, then it can be really good purchase for customer, considered that Sun T1000 (1st generation niagara) cost less than $5000.

So
1. Buy one Sun T1000 for $5k
2. Get 64k$ from IBM
3. ???
4. 59 thousand dollars profit :)

Oh, and Sun server outperforms IBM Power

In Sun Solaris Perl CPAN modules can be compiled and installed with gcc. Just run /usr/perl5/5.8.x/bin/perlgcc Makefile.PL instead of usual perl Makefile.PL

Other perl/solaris features are described in perlsolaris manpage (run man -M /usr/perl5/man perlsolaris to view it). Solaris make(1) program installed under /usr/ccs/bin and GNU make variant usually installed in /usr/sfw/bin/gmake.

Submission + - Mainframe OpenSolaris Now Available (sinenomine.net)

BBCWatcher writes: When Sun released Solaris to the open source community in the form of OpenSolaris, would anyone have guessed that it would soon wind up running on IBM System z mainframes? Amazingly, that milestone has now been achieved. Sine Nomine Associates is making its first release of OpenSolaris for System z available for free and public download. Source code is also available. OpenSolaris for System z requires a System z9 or z10 mainframe and z/VM, the hypervisor that's nearly universal to mainframe Linux installations. (The free, limited term z/VM Evaluation Edition is available for z10 machines.) Like Linux, OpenSolaris will run on reduced price IFL processors. For the record, Linux moved to the mainframe almost nine years before OpenSolaris.
