Yes you can do that easily. We run high traffic glassfish and apache on it and it runs perfectly fine

can we use Open Solaris in a production environment?
it will run php-mysql-apache, would be nice to know if it’s stable enough to run a high traffic web server, (dont know why, but Solaris 10 looks too huge & scary for me)

Your humility astonishes me.

Thanks for Debian and OpenSolaris both :-)

I could be wrong Ian, but I think Brigadier comes after Colonel? :-)

Perhaps it’s just the wider open source community which gives you “a lot more credit” than you deserve? I don’t know how much work you actually did internally because I’m not an employee of Sun’s, but I know that since you went on board that OpenSolaris has become a truly powerful and impressive operating system, in terms of competition with GNU/Linux and BSD.

From the outside looking in, you were the one who pulled Project Indiana together to create what we now know as OpenSolaris. Rightly or wrongly, well done and thanks!

(And thanks for Debian too!)

Ouch. Seems someone is a bit pissed off at the world that they haven’t yet reached the rank of General.. -ian

“While Project Indiana was indeed a catalyst for big change in Solaris, I get a lot more credit for the resulting change than is deserved,”

From whom? I’ve yet to hear anyone say anything good about your involvement with the project, apart from you.

Modern Solaris administration features have gone a long way in a few years, and the organisations I’ve talked about in Sun blogs are, as far as I understand, tentatively giving it another try. The Sun tech efforts made Solaris good, and the Oracle merger is making it safe.

‘For a variety of reasons, it probably won’t be called “11″.’

Open Unbreakable Enterprise Cluster Grid Solaris 11h?

Sorry, someone had to.
