Get Storage magazine * SearchSolaris Training Highlight  From the Editor: by Mark Brunelli, Assistant Site Editor Sun Microsystems caused a great deal of hoopla a few weeks ago when it announced that Solaris 9 will not include support for Intel processors. The decision seemed to anger a number of loyal Solaris/Intel users. In fact, a recent informal searchSolaris poll indicates that most Solaris/Intel users would be willing to pay extra for a version of Solaris that supports Intel. Sun is mulling the possibility of reverting this decision and plans to discuss other options with the Solaris/Intel community. If Sun decides to stick with its decision, searchSolaris will continue to do what it can to support those who use older versions of Solaris x86. For this week's featured topic we'll highlight all of our Solaris/Intel resources, including news, expert advice and technical tips on the subject. Be sure to bookmark our featured topic page for quick reference. If you have an opinion on Sun's Solaris/Intel decision, I'd really like to hear from you. Please email your comments on the subject directly to me, and I'll write an article based on your opinions. That's it for now folks. See you online!
