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.

Now, if I (an IT professional) can't figure out how to do it in reasonable time, will "the people" manage to?
I know its a troll but i can't help it. Don't blame Solaris for your ignornace of Unix. dns(/etc/resolv.conf), Default gateway(/etc/defaultrouter), netmask etc.. man ifconfig. These are basic Unix skills. As other posters posted Solaris is not for the mainstream computer user. However for those that use Linux especially for server duties they will find that Solaris is a much better platform if implemented properly.
