I've talked before about how significant I think the open-source approach of Open Solaris is going to be, and how the effect of allowing OpenSolaris to be provided in distributions will start to have an effect on Linux.

Early versions of OpenSolaris were an impressive, but obviously contained a few issues which needed to be addressed.

Now Belinix, the second distribution (after Schillix) has had a second version released.

The first version was CLI based only, the new version, released just 25 days later, includes the X Windows System, a range of open source tools, multimedia tools (including graphics, audio components and libraries) and Firefox and Thunderbird.
