sweet deal....great OS IMHO...although wish i had a sparc to install it on oh well intel will do for now...hope i get one!

Great find. I've been wanting to try it out!

nice!!!

Thanks! I had been waiting to download it. This is even better. I just have to figue out how to get this on my Sun Ultra 1 with no DVD drive. Do they even make SCSI DVD drives anymore? I have one of the older UltraSparcs that are SCSI only. Maybe I can just copy the files onto some CD's. One strange thing that I noticed is that they offer you a version for Intel? I thought Sun dropped support for Intel with version 9? This caused a big uproar and they are reconsidering, but I thought the talks had been stalled. Maybe the online form is wrong?

For Solaris 8, I had to pay $15 for S&H. This one is free. Let me hope it comes through.

Why do they have a sales department when it's FREE!

Awesome, great find!

I remember I read from somewhere that Sun is not supporting Intel for Solaris 9, but obviously I was given the wrong information.
Anyhow, thanks for the good find.

Will it be worth running Solaris 9 on an Intel chip? Or is it best to run it on a SPARC?
