There are tools around that can tell you if hardware is supported by
Solaris.
One such tool can be found at:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/install_check.html
That doesn't help with buying hardware though -
I'm quite happy to buy hardware specifically for an OS
(like I've always done for my BSD boxes and linux) but it's
annoying to be forced to do trial and error .
There is a process for submitting input back to Sun on driver testing
I thought so (had that experience trying to get a variant of iprb added
to device_aliases) and I can understand why, but an overly conservative
HCL just feeds the 'Solaris supports hardly any hardware' argument against
adoption.
