As stated many times: All older systems are eligible to get a support

Oracle. But, yes, no security updates without a contract. Still, I have NO

Hmm. Very strange. Our reseller just gave us the option to convert all of our
X86 boxes that run Linux to a hardware-only support model. Seems like there is
a lot of right hand not knowing like what the left hand is doing within and
outside of Sunacle.

I don't think Sun ever offered support for free, though a limited set of

Why not use Open Solaris on your desktop?
That's what I do...
Ideally, I'd like both. At present, I have one machine with Solaris 10 only on
it, and the other is multiboot with OSes that change fairly frequently (SXCE
127, FreeBSD 8, Fedora 11 and WXP). I'll probably go from SXCE to OSOL
I had a call from Oracle this morning and they wanted to answer some
questions I raised to them recently.
So I was told that you can install Solaris 10 and Open Solaris both on
Sun and non-Sun hardware.
Then you can buy a support both for Solaris 10 and Open Solaris in both
cases (Sun and

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for the response - the info came directly from HP. I believe our senior
management have been in discussion with some pretty senior Oracle folk, so
hopefully we'll get a definitive statement soon.

It would appear as if Oracle is happy to sub-license Solaris if it has the
effect of off-loading Operating System support to the licensee. At the point
that dialogue is re-established between the OGB and Oracle, it may be
worthwhile discussing the establishment of a sub-licensee or an
