OpenIndiana is a Unix-like operating system for the PC ( IBM-PC-compatible - x86 architecture) and SPARC platforms . It has its origins in Solaris . The development is under the patronage of the Illumos Foundation, in which both volunteers and companies are involved.
Emergence
After the takeover of Sun Microsystems by Oracle , the further development of Indiana (a former OpenSolaris distribution) was renamed Solaris Express . Former users and volunteer developers who had organized themselves in a community to influence the future of OpenSolaris then founded the Illumos project with the aim of further developing the last published code of OpenSolaris. With OpenIndiana, end users are provided with a complete operating system based on Illumos.
Partial spin-off
You can see Illumos and thus OpenIndiana as a fork of OpenSolaris and Solaris. Initially, the term “spork” was brought into play - a combination of “spoon” and “fork”, since the announcement of Illumos did not completely abandon Solaris, but wanted to include new code (provided by Oracle). Since November 2010, however, many deliberate deviations from Oracle Solaris have been introduced in Illumos, so that the term partial spin-off no longer applies.
