h5. OpenSolaris Resources
Did you know there's a [dedicated sysadmin community for OpenSolaris|http://opensolaris.org/os/community/sysadmin/]? This is a great forum for discussing ways to make the next version of OpenSolaris easier to install, configure, and maintain. It's also a great way to see what new features might be added to future releases.

Want to try out the new features of OpenSolaris without downloading, installing, or configuring? Get free access to your own cloud using the OpenSolaris Learning Cloud Service's [Beta On-Demand Lab|https://learning.sun.com/solc/course/sandbox-1].
