Solaris is a great UNIX operating system. Very exciting to use for a UNIX expert. (If you're not an expert, use Apple's UNIX: Mac OS X).

Agreed! I went to admin school at SUN for v.7 . I have heard that they're thinking of doing an Intel platform port of Solaris 9- I'd be keen to play with it.

Well, what a coincidence! I just downloaded Solaris 9 for x86 and burned CDs yesterday. You'll want to check this out: $20 for Solaris 9 on x86.

Free Solaris^SM Binary License Program.

Well, it's free for SPARC, but $20 for x86.
