Re: Passing on some news..

From my documentation, Solaris 10 Express release (11/03) was the last
release to support the Ultra 1 platform.  Support for the Ultra 1 could
easily be shoe-horned back in.

I have high hopes that support for Ultra III && IV systems can be
shoe-horned back into Solaris 11.  Obviously this would be for my hobby
support.  $WORK has been on T series and M series boxes for years.

Probably a better option would be to see what the Illumos/OpenIndiana
people are doing.

----

In a separate note, I am hoping I can shoe-horn Rosetta back into Mac OS
X 10.7/Lion.  :)

As in them being more forgiving than Oracle about supported platforms?

Re: Passing on some news..

They seem to generally be pretty open minded.

The only reason I haven't spent more time with Illumos (vs Solaris 11
Express) is that I would miss encrypted ZFS file systems.

That aside, they seem to be the dominate Solaris derived based distro,
at least IMHO.

At $WORK, it will always be the commercial Unix with the commercial
support.  But at home, I am going to run what ever meets my needs.

	Looking for build & QA hosts, last I heard.

	If you've got a box, give 'em access.  (At the moment most of
my systems are off the summer -- Phoenix isn't the coolest of places.)

	As far as stuff that is runnable today goes, I've had 
reasonably good luck with NetBSD 5.1.  The FreeBSD/sparc port has been
dead for a while, haven't tried their sparc64 port.

i believe they removed them - oracle doesn't believe in -giving- stuff
away.  i'd like to be proved wrong in this case though.

Re: Passing on some news..

I thought that the Solaris 9 stuff disappeared long before Oracle
purchased Sun.
