Frank, There are a few links to this in which I was targeting for the December review on Sun OS technologies. 1. Solaris 10 application support, compatibility, installation on non-Sun hardware. 2. Software development on Indiana-based distros is another concern in backward compatibility and porting to Solaris 10. 3. Issues with current multi-core and threading setups. This goes into support of the newer dual multi-core setups (dual 4-core and 8-core CPUs). 4. Identifying single-threaded and multi-threaded commercial and open source apps. So, good question and there is a lot of ground that needs covering!!! Mainly, applications should be installed and tested currently on Solaris 10 08/07 first, then an officially tested and supported OpenSolaris-distro (i.e. SXCE/SXDE). See: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/apps/ http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/scla.jsp That will keep things on the right path for now for most user testing. You think? ~ Ken Mays ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
