Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris The vast majority of operating system reviews are the result of a user spending a few days or weeks using a particular operating system and writing about their observations. This review is the result of my continued use of Solaris 10 (previously Solaris Express) from August 2003 to February 2005.

re: my experience with Solaris 10 on SPARC

but James you're on a Blade 100. They are slow and outdated.
It's not going to be wonderful when you're on that hardware.

I also installed it on a Sun Blade 100 where i work and it did ok, even though it's only got 256MB RAM. It suffers a lot because of the lack of RAM.

I installed it on my AMD XP3200+ (1 GB RAM) at home and it flies. If i could get my Realtek 8169 NIC working i'd be even more happy...but i'll save that for a rainy day.
cheers
