Milax: the tiny Solaris

Filed in archive Solaris on February 29, 2008

Who would have thought of a Solaris LiveCD being developed? This is exactly that the folks in Russia did - develop a Live-CD version of Solaris (Nevada b81) and name it MilaX.

The small (less than 100MB) package includes Beaver, Vim, Dillo, Midnight Commander, emelFM, XMMS, Xpdf, VNC viewer, Rdesktop, AxyFTP and Irssi. In addition, you also can the Solaris-exclusive (right now) features such as DTrace, ZFS and brandZ.

I wish I still have my Eee to test it on but what the hey, will ask my friends to test it for me. Who knows? They might just love it over the stock Linux installed.
