2008.05: Who's got it

Well, I don’t know exactly who’s running a copy of 2008.05, but I do know what IP addresses have interacted with pkg.opensolaris.org from the server logs. I used MaxMind’s GeoIP Lite to map these back to countries, and Google’s chart API to make a little map: If 2008.05 is your first experience with the technology [...]

Live chat on #os200805

We’re talking about OpenSolaris 2008.05 over on IRC, using the #os200805, from now until 2 p.m. Pacific Time.

Apparently the load from 60 000 users blew out [...]
