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.

Solaris, in the right hands, is one of the most powerful
and secure operating systems around. With the advent of
Solaris 10, also the most sophisticated. I'm not the
right hands. I would be lost, just as the reviewer was.
I run linux. Linux is OK, as a UNIX-like operating system
it has SOME of the benefits of a "true" UNIX system. It's
"good enough" and has all of the "fun" stuff for a home
user.
I don't think that Solaris is really the "right" thing for
me, but it could be for some! So, again, it's about choice,
and technology. What do you want? It's out there. You
want a slick system, use linux. You want a cool system,
go BSD. You want technology and security, you go solaris.
At least it isn't Windows!
