- joshbaptiste 14y agoI consider the Joyent (Ex-Sun guys) the gods of Unix based operating systems, just reading how they ported KVM from Linux -> Illumos displays their deep understanding of what is going on under the hood. Seriously if you want to be an above average Unix system administrator, consider learning and using Dtrace with Solaris/OpenIndiana as it will improve your troubleshooting skills immensely with *nix in general. I just wish it existed in GNU/Linux (yea,yea Oracle is trying this, but still very incomplete atm), and Linux based SystemTap just does not feel as awesome as Dtrace.
- erichocean 14y agoApple should buy Joyent immediately and put them in charge of the entire Service side of Apple (iCloud, etc.). There isn't any better way for Tim Cook to spend that amount of money, full stop: Apple is getting it's ass kicked on the server side by Google, and they deserve it, because Apple doesn't have the talent and won't get it because, let's face it, who wants to work at Apple on server stuff that has any kind of skills? Buying Joyent would change that overnight.
- shmerl 14y agoI don't think they'll like the idea of dealing with Apple after they left Oracle. They have better things to do.
