Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris 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.

Even a dumb@ss like "me" wouldn't have any problems connecting Solaris to the net. There are many tutorials on how to do this, it just takes some reading!
I use Solaris as a desktop OS everyday and i enjoy it. Maybe i even will learn something useful from using Solaris, or it just might be that there is something wrong with me :-)
