<p>Some of the differences between OpenIndiana and OpenSolaris can be characterized as follows:</p>

<ul>
<li>Sun's OS/NET consolidation (closed by Oracle) has been replaced with illumos-gate.</li><br>
<li>Many of the original OpenSolaris software consolidations have been reorganized into a single oi-userland consolidation.</li><br>
<li>Oracle's Sun Studio has been replaced with the open source GNU GCC compiler.</li><br>
