Hello. I understand your point, but I thought that OpenSolaris for Sun is much more like Fedora for Red Hat. Fedora may be not very stable. And you know, even release versions of OpenSolaris are sometimes quite incomplete or buggy (e.g. we faced ioat driver bug which crashed system several times

OpenSolaris is more unstable than Solaris 10. For production, Solaris 10 is recommended. There is a program that opens up a SunRay login window on WindowsXP. So you can use an old WinXP computer as a SunRay client. That program is in the new SunRay Server Software that will soon be available.

[osol-discuss] How might I install perl 5.10.1 using pkg

2009-10-21 Thread Harry Putnam
I'd like to install perl-5.10.1 but even though I am setup to install pkgs from `dev' there appears to be no pkg for perl 5.10. Is there no repo that has perl 5.10? Do I need to just compile it myself outside pkg? If that is the case does anyone have a howto or some pointers... about doing that?
