Sistem Operasi Open Solaris

OpenSolaris adalah sistem operasi open source yang didasarkan pada Sun Microsystems Solaris. Ini juga merupakan nama dari proyek yang diprakarsai oleh Sun untuk membangun komunitas pengembang dan pengguna di sekitarnya. OpenSolaris diturunkan dari Unix System V Release 4 codebase, dengan perubahan signifikan yang dibuat oleh Sun karena membeli hak untuk kode tersebut pada tahun 1994. Ini adalah satu-satunya open source turunan System V yang tersedia. Sun telah mengumumkan bahwa versi komersial sistem operasi Solaris akan didasarkan pada teknologi dari proyek OpenSolaris.

Packages Installation

• download package  
• gunzip, bunzip2                                                                                                                                     When we will do the installation software package with an gz or bzip2, then we can use the command gunzip or bunzip2 to uncompress the packages.
  # bunzip2 CSKmemcached_1.3.1_i386.pkg.bz2
  # gunzip gcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local.gz
• pkgadd                                                                                                                                                             Serves to transfer packages to the system / to install a software. Suppose the two above packages we've uncompress, then for the installation do the following:                 # pkgadd -d gcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local or
  # pkgadd -d CSKmemcached_1.3.1_i386.pkg
  Without the -d option, pkgadd will then read the package in /var/spool/pkg
