<Yes, they are. Here's a link: http://news.com.com/Suns+Galaxy+servers+making+September+debut/2100-1010_3-5845879.html <Though these are targeted toward to enterprise applications. Not sure whether or not it will bring attentions to Solaris/OpenSolaris.> Among the UNIX big three (or four if you could count SGI), SUN is the only company that was able to port their system to the ubiquitous x86 platform. If the new Galaxy system can be as successful as SUN has hoped, it should encourage (or help to encourage) college (or even high school) students to play with Solaris/OpenSolaris at home or in school labs.
