Solaris Express Developer Edition 9/07

Another great new release of this excellent Solaris edition.

Solaris Express Developer Edition

Lots of new features :

Solaris Express Developer Edition : Features
Solaris Express Developer Edition : Tech FAQ

including:
  • Sun Studio 12 C, C++ and Fortran compilers and NEW D-Light, a GUI DTrace tool that simplifies using DTrace
  • NetBeans 5.5
  • Solaris (Solaris Express Community Edition build 70b)
  • A superb new installer
  • Updated GNOME and lots lots more...

This is an excellent distribution from Sun, amazing useful for developers. I install it on an x64 system and it goes on in 64-bit mode, but you can boot it in 32-bit mode also. I assume it can install on 32-bit x86 but I haven't tried that.

Sun Solaris Express Developer Edition Gets Usability Makeover

Update It seems excellent, my sound is now working. Overall the system feels faster.
