| Sun hopes for Linux-like Solaris |
|---|
In an effort to spur adoption of Solaris, Sun Microsystems has begun a project code-named Indiana to try to give its operating system some of the trappings of Linux.
The project is one of the items on the to-do list of Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian version of Linux and as of March Sun's chief operating systems officer. Though he wouldn't confirm the name of the project, Murdock — who's from Indiana — discussed the project's essence here at the JavaOne conference here Monday, and Sun spokesman Russ Castronovo confirmed the name.
