OpenIndiana is a free and open-source illumos distribution descended from UNIX System V Release 4 via the OpenSolaris operating system. Forked from OpenSolaris after OpenSolaris was discontinued by Oracle Corporation,[3][4] OpenIndiana takes its name from Project Indiana, the internal codename for OpenSolaris at Sun Microsystems before Oracle’s acquisition of Sun in 2010.[5]
Created by a development team led by Alasdair Lumsden,[6] the OpenIndiana project is now stewarded by the illumos Foundation, which develops and maintains the illumos operating system.[3] The project aims to make OpenIndiana "the de facto OpenSolaris distribution installed on production servers where security and bug fixes are provided free of charge."[7]
you may choose from 47 different keyboard layouts and 22 different languages.
Project Indiana was led by Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian Linux Distribution.
Al[a]sdair Lumsden founded OpenIndiana. I founded 'Illumos,' which occurred in advance of the OpenIndiana project.
Ultimate aim is to become the de facto OpenSolaris distribution installed on production servers where security and bug fixes are provided free of charge.
