IconOSNews has been reporting on the Debian/Ubuntu/GNU/Opensolaris hybrid for several years. But for those of you who've never looked more closely at this interesting OS, a Nexenta developer has laid out some of its more noteworthy features and advantages.
The Nexenta project, started in 2005, has had 6 releases (NexentaOS and NexentaCore), and is preparing for the upcoming NexentaCore Platform 2 release. If you are a Debian/Ubuntu developer, consider taking a little time to take a look at an emerging platform that provides a feature rich developer environment.
Nexenta has built a small but vibrant community. It has been downloaded over half a million times, and is being used in around 10,000 systems, mostly data-centers.
Nexenta uses Debian's dpkg packaging system, and provides everything provided by Debian/Ubuntu environment. However, these are only a subset of the features in Nexenta's toolchain. We'll take a look at the additional features and tools provided by Nexenta.
