They released "Solaris 11 express" before, it was a point-in-time release, with some of the features implemented. They released it specifically for Exadata and Exalogic.
This is the complete final release, and it is GREAT! So many excellent features!! They did really well with this release -

Kind of amusing that the old Sun logo appears above the Oracle logo on the side of the rack on the "What's New" page.
I'm probably most interested in what new advances there are in ZFS with this release.
I'll have to download Solaris 11 and play around with it a bit. I've been meaning to check out Oracle Linux too. -

So many for ZFS: de-duplication and compression on the OS level, encryption...many things -

I like the features ZFS offers and it's not too hard to use (I'm mostly familiar with Linux). I'm updating that box now.I've been meaning to check out Oracle Linux too.MentholMoose
