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.

I installed Solaris on my home machine too but couldn't figure out why I should keep it. Fedora did everything so much better. The applications were much more up to date, it ran faster, it was easier to use, it detected my hardware, it had a lot more software available. It basically did everything better. Then I got rid of it and reverted back to Fedora. I figured it will be best to focus on one thing and know it really well. I personally don't know whether or not RedHat will survive, but I know RedHat is Linux and Linux has already made it. I know Linux will be around 15 years from now but I am not certain whether Solaris will.
