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.

People will use open solaris just the same as linux or bsd. The same software will be ported if it's not already to solaris. Solaris will be just as good as a desktop to those who like it as Linux and BSD please the folks who like them. Quit being babies whining about setting up Solaris. It's not hard. And to think some of you who cry about it call yourself IT professionals. What a joke. Sun provides excellent documentation for mentally challenged IT professionals who can't manage to get the networking up.
