Old deal, sorry.

Saw this over at HardOCP.com, so let me know if it's a repost. But, take a look over here: FREE SOLARIS

EDIT:
Oops, didn't realize that this wasn't new

Well at least it was new for me

so what would I do with something like solaris (I mean, if I'm not serving at a large organization level)?

 

[halik]

ooh wait free linux, free bsb, free darwin

Solaris has been free since version 8, what rock have yall been living under

 

[RocketsFan]

Yes, Solaris is free, but they removed Intel processor support after version 8. No newer versions will have Intel CPU support. And this has been free for a while...

Where can I get version 8 for free?

Any link?

Thank you in advance.

 

[nonunique]

if you click the link, you can choose Solaris9 (sparc only) or Solaris8 (sparc or intel)...

Thanks Nonunique, but here are the choices:

Solaris 9 on SPARC? platform
Solaris 8 on Intel

I would like to get Solaris 8 on Sparc. I have an old Sun machine with version 2.5 (i think), and would like to upgrade to version 8 because I have a version 8 manual/textbook.
