Sun launches OpenSolaris, inks deal with Amazon
Sun Microsystems on Monday said it has released OpenSolaris, an open source version of its Solaris operating system, and announced a deal with Amazon.com.
The OpenSolaris project has been under development for more than three years. Sun hopes to popularize the operating system with developers, students and other traditional Linux users.

I don't see what's that different from the free Solaris we already have apart from the Amazon thingy...
