OpenSolaris gets Firefox 3 and Javascript probe love

3:58 pm Indiana, OpenSolaris, Web

Old news for a lot of Linux distributions, but the build 94 update that David posted finally brings Firefox 3 to OpenSolaris. Yay. What’s better is

Yes, you’ve got it – DTrace Javascript Probes have been included.

    Good news, I probably try OpenSolaris to see what’s so good about this UNIX. I heard that SPAM (Solaris, PHP, Apache, MySQL) has great performance.

    Nice!

    Also, Mono 2.0 will be shipping with dtrace probes on Solaris and MacOS X.

    Miguel: Awesome, congrats on that!

    Hi, that’s definitely good news for all them web developers around coz debugging Javascript has never been a simple task. If DTrace Javascript Probes do as good a job as the other probes available, then it’s a winner.
