Thanks will try the livecd maybe of some help.
You'd rather it *didn't* run on new hardware,
or that people should spend time supporting hardware that's about to
be EOLed?
Your latter statement is what I was suggesting. Why?
The hardware that's going to be EOL is EOL at the manufacturer, because
I was very amiss as to the history of Solaris. So thank you for that. That
explains the why the prominence of the newer hardware. And of course makes
sense.
Ans as for the advanced features that's why I wanted to try and hopefully
switch to Solaris. I had read much about the system and found it

And as you mentioned with the proper knowledge base, which is not me, I could
not get a good install. The one time I actually got the UI up however it was
stunning for UI. Even the CDE was very nice and I could see

I have a AsusTek AMD K7 with nForce on board chipset w/512 ram and over 600 Gb
of hard disk over 3 drives. I even installed a realtek nic to try and get
internet connection.

Ian,
Thanks, I tried running device detection tool, but it only runs on certain
versions of Linux or on Windows, so it would not run on my system.
If I need a newer system for Solaris than that is sad news indeed. It is not
much different then Vista in that regard.
So I will have to wait for
Wow, that's a loaded question.
One certainly can't sit and become stagnant so development has to go into new
hardware, but at the same time what are your majority of users using, not the
new hardware, it will be the older hardware.
