Bored with your Linux, why not try openSolaris?

Open solaris 8.5 is a fork of a proprietary operating system named Solaris that was build by Sun Microsystem. This was a Unix based operating system hence the look and feel almost like Linux and another Unix variants.

If you are boring with your Linux, why don’t try the Open SOlaris. You could get the ISO from the open solaris donwload page. You may also get from the torrent here.

Don’t want to install, you could use Qemu to emulate your computer so you could use it on Microsoft WIndows or Linux desktop. Using qemu means you don’t have to burn the ISO on disc too, since qemu will directly access the ISO files.

Just download qemu. To enable qemu boot from iso, see the tutorials from Pendrive Linux.

You just have to make a .bat file (if you use Windows) and enter codes below:


REM Start qemu on windows.
REM This batch file was created by http://pendrivelinux.com
@ECHO OFF
cls
echo.
echo ———————————————————–
echo This batch file will launch any Linux ISO that is stored in
echo the same directory where this file is located.
echo ———————————————————–
echo.
echo This batch file is being offered with absolutely No Warranty
echo in hopes that it will be useful. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
echo.
echo.
echo Press any key to continue or close to exit…
pause >nul
cls

qemu.exe -L . -cdrom *.iso -append root=/dev/ram0 -localtime -soundhw all -m 256
