Yes, the CD is bootable (given that you use reliable CD-burning software, if you are burning your own CD). It will run as a Live CD, and has the option to install OpenSolaris onto your hard disk, should you have sufficient resources. Note that you will need 512MB of RAM and a partition with 10GB (recommended) of free disk space, should you choose the Install option. If you wish to try out the installation, but do not have any free partitions on your hard disk, then VirtualBox is an excellent option - create a virtual machine, and install OpenSolaris into that. Note that OpenSolaris has moved on from the version that you will find on the CD (or ISO distribution). Check osol-discuss for the update method. Many people are using the OpenSolaris distribution, and are very happy with it. There is also a great deal of documentation/assistance out there - go to www.opensolaris.com and peruse. HTH... Sean.
