In that case, I'd certainly recommend OpenSolaris over S10. You can go to http://www.opensolaris.org/ and click on "learn more." The very first link goes to the download page. > Also just want to know What is opensolaris' advantage over solaris 10 for > users like me It's too many things to mention by a simple email message, but, in short, S10 is Sun's previous commercial release of Solaris, which was launched in 2005. It has had several updates since then, but remains effectively a subset of what's in OpenSolaris. By contrast, OpenSolaris is the current system under development. It includes more device drivers (particularly for x86 systems), newer features, and a bunch of other stuff. Inside Sun, the rule is that projects must integrate into the release under development (which is "Nevada" -- also OpenSolaris) and then "soak" before even being considered for inclusion in an older release. And most new things are not permitted to be released on the older platform. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
