OpenSolaris 2008.11 on OS X via VMware Fusion

Today I got OpenSolaris 2008.11 running on OS X with VMware Fusion. (again...simple)



In the picture is my blog about using VirtualBox to host a different version of OpenSolaris and Ubuntu/Linux, so there are 4 operating systems represented here!


jack@opensolaris:~$ uname -a
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

OpenSolaris & Ubuntu/Linux on OS X with VirtualBox

Today I ran 3 Operating Systems on my MacBook Pro at the same time.

I downloaded Sun xVM VirtualBox for OS X and the iso images for OpenSolaris and Ubuntu. After installing VirtualBox I created a virtual machine and installed OpenSolaris. Later I created another virtual machine and installed Ubuntu.

Here is my desktop with all 3 Operating Systems running:


Click the image to enlarge.

You might be able to see the three "uname -a" commands, that look like this:


jack@opensolaris:~$ uname -a
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_86 i86pc Solaris


tom@tom-desktop:~$ uname -a
Linux tom-desktop 3.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux


Toms-MacBook-Pro:~ tom$ uname -a
Darwin Toms-MacBook-Pro.local 9.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0: Wed Sep 3 11:29:43
PDT 2008; root:xnu-1228.7.58~1/RELEASE_I386 i386


["Darwin" is the kernel in OS-X]

Simple. Fun. Cool.

The Mother of All Demos

My father worked at SRI with Doug Engelbart...

The Mother of All Demos is a name given to Douglas Engelbart's December 9, 1968 demonstration at the Convention Center in San Francisco, which included the first public demonstration of the mouse!



On December 9, 2008 at Stanford University's Memorial Auditorium, SRI International will present a commemorative 40th anniversary of this historic event.
