If you need big iron boxes (>8 and upto 64 CPUs) currently, SPARC is your
choice. AMD/Intel aren't there yet but soon they might well be there with

Hi,
This project initially just started as a learning experience to understand
how x86 boot and miniroot work. But later it progressed to a stage where we
found that a complete distro is possible.
The initial aim was to get a GNU/Solaris distro and Solaris compatibility option
was later decide
Great, is there a way to dual boot Windows and Solaris?
(I have two hdd's) That's what I did with a lot of linux disto's
before deciding which one to choose. Does Solaris come with
a booting program or something?
Also: I'm trying to find a home desktop OS and Solaris is looking
quite attractive.
