199813 2003-12-12 09:04:00 Sun is offering Sun Solaris (including a x86 version) for free download from here.

Anyone got something faster than dial-up and willing to download a copy for me? :D

Several CDs I believe - I didn't get far enough along in the registration to find out how many... I mean what was the point in going so far only not to download cause of my stupid dial-up :)

199817 2003-12-12 09:50:00 I could if it was from a NZ server... international traffic and I'm stuffed for that amount of downloads. Maybe we could do a cd each :D Dolby Digital (160)
199818 2003-12-12 09:58:00 Have you downloaded and installed it yet? What's it like?

I tried Solaris 8 when they were giving it away a few years ago. The installation was a bit rough around the edges, but once a got it up and running it was all sweet :)

I use Solaris at work, although I have no idea what version :) - I'd love to be able to have a good play with it, as its mostly locked down there... I guess the x86 version might be different though (maybe).
