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 am afraid i agree with the writer... the commercials on the sun homepage are way too hype for the product, which is an advanved server platform.
I think The writer doesnt complain about Solaris as an OS but more about the commercials. and about the "the people" thing
I also installed solaris and had a bitch of a time setting the net, not anything i am used to from BSD/Linux
