New OpenSolaris project: Web Stack

We just launched a new OpenSolaris project called Web Stack. With the great response we have seen for Cool Stack, we thought this would be a good time to get the community to participate. Although the starting point for Web Stack is Cool Stack 1.1, we hope it will grow much beyond that. Please visit the project site - http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/webstack.

We'd love to get your feedback on whether you think this is a good idea and what open source web technologies/apps you would like to see added.

And of course, we hope that you will participate in the project. You can help by building portions of the stack, add new libraries and applications, test binaries etc.

It would be great to have an up-to-date version of apache, php, mysql and on pre-installed in /usr/sfw/ with each Solaris installation, as we know it from common Linux distros. This could be an important improvement for Solaris in the future.

I hope the web stack project helps to improve Solaris and makes it Web2.0 ready.

I am not to fussed about having a web stack installed in /usr/sfw mainly due to zones.

At the moment i quite like it being installed in /opt as it allows me to reduces the risk of having unwanted apps in my zones.

On the point of up to date name one Linux distro thats up to date?

If you can i will ask ask again in a week :)

As long as a it can be easily downloaded an put onto solaris it will be on par with Linux
