Bitbucket: Free Mercurial (Hg) code repositories

http://www.bitbucket.org is a Hg code repository hosting service which allows you to host upto 150 MB of your codes for FREE.

Update to the OpenSolaris 2008.11 final release

If you have been running any of the pre-release versions (RC1 or earlier) of OpenSolaris 2008.11, updating yourself to the final release is easy: (Please refer this link for more information)

$pfexec pkg image-update

I was running RC1 and so it d/led around 225 MBs of stuff and a new boot environment was created for me. You will get a new GRUB entry called opensolaris-1, which you can boot into on restart.

The desktop looks awesomely attractive:
