>Alvaro just tipped the world that the OpenSolaris project gives away a starter kit for free. Having browsed around their site a few minutes I saw that the licensing was OSI approved – so right now I’m waiting for the kit to arrive in the mail.
This connects back to the days when I discovered Linux. I was looking at all conceivable alternate operating systems – I even ran OS/2 instead of DOS. Right now the most interesting projects seems to be the desktop versions of BSD: PC-BSD and DesktopBSD. An interesting Linux project is the GoboLinux, an alternate approach to Linux. Then there is the Swedish OS: Contiki. Just the concept of being able to surf the web from a C64… wicked! :-)
