Ok, Sun is giving out opensolaris for free. It is the open version
like some linux destros. It differ from Solaris 7,8 and 10. But,
still close. If you must download any solaris, ensure you choose
that version that is meant for your system. They come in
different flavours, like 32 and 64 bits or whether it is a sparc
mechine you want to install it on. The installation process is
quite straight forward except for few points that must be looked
at closely. Will highlight some of the points in my next post.
If anybody is interested, I have Solaris 10 image, all you have to
do is get 6 CDs and give a call. We can fix time and place to meet
for the burning

@adewaleafolabi: you should be smart enough to give us the error message you encountered during installation.

Hi, long time. Just to answer your question. No Solaris
does not have live cd like ubuntu. You have to install it
to feel it. It simple to install, boot from the cd and follow
the instructions. You can choose the auto layout for
to layout your partition for you. it is that easy, but you need
to have enough ram space, I think 128 is recommended but I
will advice min of 256 mb for better performance.

I just got my DVD(Solaris Express, Developer Edition) delivered yesterday. But my fun trip was cut short, too soon: Installation needed a minimum of 768MB RAM. The system I want to install has only 512MB. Guess I would have to upgrade, then I'll be back here with my experience details.

As a piece of advice, the solaris express version is most suited
for desktop, because of lots of available parkage. Unlike, solaris 10,
which was designed with enterprise in mind. Since, I install my
my solaris, I have been having problem getting a compatible
sound driver. May be I should be thinking of migrating to express
version. Ok, if anybody who has been able to install it, we can
share our experiences like we did with Ubuntu on one thread
and it was the best way I climb out ubuntu within a short time.
Ciao
