This information can’t possibly still be up-to-date 5 years later, can it? Because it’s referenced from various “official” places like #opensolaris on irc.freenode.net, it would be good if someone could make it accurate again.

I am confused by the Solaris Express edition. I do not see any option with Sun to obtain this (they do have the Solaris Express Community Edition, which thanks to your nice page I know the difference).

BTW, I found this page via http://wiki.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OpenSolarisFAQ#WhatisthedifferencebetweenOpenSolaris.2CSolarisExpress.2CSolaris10.2C_etc..3F

I just received 2 pcs DVD Open Solaris. When opened the case, it make me rethink again. What’s the differenc between this OpenSolaris with the Solaris Developer Edition from SUN itself? And if from opensolaris side, the development and update will become in 2 month and more release, and what’s the benefit for a user like me to judge which one is suited for me? I haven’t made decision to install both of Solaris from SUN and opensolaris. Thanks to answer my question.

When you get time, would you mind adding a note or two with regard to the apparent dropping of "Solaris Express" (non-community edn)?

The link here:

Solaris Express - this is the official Sun ‘bleeding-edge’ bits (as opposed to the OpenSolaris ‘bleeding-edge’ bits.

now takes one to the Developer edition. :-0

One problem with the naming stuff lies in the bugzilla.mozilla.org. Several categories exist in this bug system: SunOS/Solaris/OpenSolaris. To put all these names together is a little bit weird I think. As the bugs are related to Solaris 8/9/10 and Nevada, is there any better solution to go like “Linux”?
