Sun and a Solaris revival: Talking with Ian Murdock

,----[ Quote ]
| [Ian:] Things are going very well. It's a bit overwhelming at times. I've 
| been a startup guy for most of my career, so there's a certain amount of 
| culture shock involved in working within a 33,000-strong company, and 
| understanding how to navigate the machinery and history of the place.

Q&A: Sun's Top Operating System Brass Talk OS Strategy

,----[ Quote ]
| The one-line answer is that we are making Solaris into a distribution, too. 
| And to the extent that you hear that Project Indiana aims to make Solaris 
| more like Linux, that actually fundamentally misses the point. It is mostly 
| taking the lesson that Linux has brought to the operating system and 
| providing that for Solaris as well.

Debian's Ian Speaks: Gaining Developer Mindshare Is Key

,----[ Quote ]
| "Sun's Linux strategy is not well articulated. People who ask why I'm
| at Sun say, 'I thought Sun was anti-Linux.' That's not true at all.
| Solaris is the operating system of choice, no doubt at all, but there
| is a certain part of the market that wants Linux. Why argue with that?
| We can do a better job of articulating the Solaris strategy," Sun's
| Ian Murdock said.

Ian Murdock Uses Ubuntu Too  

,----[ Quote ]
| Ian's latest blog entry had this screenshot. You can spy Ubuntu's
| logo in the top left. Ian confirms that this is indeed an Ubuntu
| desktop in the comments. I was glad to see it, and thought I'd 
| share it with you.
