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. |

@Seun hmm i didn't get to install. I am kind of used to having a live session coming from a linux background, does solaris have a live session, i want to have a taste of what am about to install. Thanks |

@afolabi 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, cos 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 |
