Hi all, recently, someone gave me an Ultrasparc5 workstation, and I decided to give it a try. Right now, it's running Debian Lenny quite nicely. But as there are some annoyances with Linux on Sparc (some proprietary software not ported to the platform), I tought about installing a newer version of Solaris. The Solaris 9 that came with the computer is way out of date and I would have to download a lot of patches (and I'm not even sure if all of them are accessible w/o a service contract). Being condemned to a slow Internet connection (64 kb/s), I refrained from this for the time being and decided to apply for a free Opensolaris CD instead. This was a fortnight ago, and since then, I didn't hear anything from Sun. So, is anyone here who recently ordered such a CD and knows how long it might take, or if I should give it another try?
