No problem for me. But YES for a bunch of students who are trying to
get their feet wet with OpenSolaris. There is already some
bad-mouthing about how the Developer Edition needs a truckload of RAM
to just install. We don't want people to compare Solaris hardware
requirements with that of the Vista beast :-(
More so when Developer Edition can actually run fine
with half the RAM that is required to install it.
Moinak -- I think that's 128 MB, correct? Don't you need way more than
128
to effectively run a SX Developer Edition Desktop? (I'm presuming we're
talking about simultaneously running at least X/GNOME, multiple
gnome-terminals, and Firefox.)
Ah yes, of course, but for a Developer use you'd want to use Netbeans
and or maybe build OpenSolaris etc., and that's when things get a
little thrashy with 128 MB.

Moinak.
