OS/Net (ON)

OpenSolaris Community: OS/Net (ON)

ON (pronounced "Oh En") is the common abbreviation for the OS/Net consolidation which delivers the core Operating System and Networking components to Solaris. It contains the source for the kernel and all platforms (on all architectures), the bulk of the drivers, filesystems, core libraries, and basic commands that you'd expect to find on a Solaris system.

 This page is still a work in progress. We apologize for the lack of maintenance, but in our defense, we believe that the ON community is primarily served by its constituent projects. Questions and suggestions should be sent to gk at onnv dot eng dot sun dot com.
