1. What are the resource requirements for all this wonderful
Solaris 10 software to work and perform reasonably well?
Is it all available for x86 systems? Does it require a
64-bit dual or quad processor system, 4 GB of RAM and a 200
GB HDD? Or would it all work on a 1.8 GHz Intel Celeron
single processor system with 512 MB of RAM? E.g. is the
power of the zones technology fully available on such a
low-powered desktop system?
Yes. It's all fully available on low powered systems.
(Even a VIA C3 CPU with 512 MB of ram works just fine,
even as Sun RAY server; boot Solaris from flash too,
if that's your thing)
Neat. Does it work on the PLE133 chipset?
2. And what about documentation? Are good tutorials
available for Solaris newbies covering the unique aspects
of Solaris 10, or do you have to be a long time, seasoned
Solaris sys admin to catch on to these Solaris esoterica?
I found the Sun Solaris 10 User's Guides and Sys Admin
Guides to be pretty dense on these subjects.
Much more accessible information can be found on
blogs.sun.com; many engineers write accessible how-tos
about the stuff they themselves build.
IF you can find what you are looking for.
It's hopeless to find the things you are looking
for and the search facility doesn't help much.
Example: there was mentioned an easy guide to
live upgrade at someone's blog in this maillist, and I
have accidently deleted that particular mail.
I tried finding it via the search engine at Sun's
blogsite, but gave up after checking at least 20
different blog entries (out of 296).
How am I supposed to find what I'm looking for???
