RE: How does OpenSolaris fare for Ed Tech?
The biggest thing would be that OpenSolaris has is the name "Sun" behind it. When some people (IT departments included) see "Linux" they see just a community of programmers and hackers, corporate and basement dwelling. Sun is a big influential company and has contributed quite a bit as the other poster said, so putting it all in one distribution with the name Sun behind it may be more readily accepted by a school district or college's budgeting instead of another open-source alternative.
