Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris With a (relatively) big advertising campaign SUN promoted Solaris 10 (also known as SunOS 5.10). Referring to SUN, with the "revolutionary" JAVADesktop 2 and a lot of new features and improvements, Solaris 10 should be the best OS today. Solaris is free for SPARC owners and for private use or evaluation purpose it's also freely available on the x86. While Solaris actually is kind of a legend, I thought "Hu, this could be an interesting alternative on my PC". Thought, went on and downloaded the ISOs. Read on to see how an average user (me) have experienced Solaris.

It needs 128MB of RAM?

Wow. That eliminates it for me, at least until I get more RAM for my play-around box. It only has 64MB now, which is fine for Win2k, Mandrake 8.2, and DSL 1.1.
