Installing Solaris 10 - widen your Unix experience
OK, so the commercial version of Solaris strictly speaking isn’t free software/open source (although quite a lot of the code is now open, thanks to the OpenSolaris project). But still, since we do quite a lot of Linux and other Unix stuff here on FOSSwire, I thought I might take a quick excursion into Sun’s Unix.
I’m pretty sure we will also be taking a look at some OpenSolaris distributions in the near future, but for now I’m going to take a quick look at the commercial Solaris 10.
While it is commercial, you can get a copy for no charge (for evaluation and/or personal use, and apparently some commercial use too) after registering with Sun. You can start the download process at this page.
If you’re using standard PC hardware like I am (I don’t have access to any Sun/SPARC hardware, but apparently it’s very good), then make sure you get yourself the x86/x64 version of Solaris.
After downloading the DVD or CD images, you’ll need to obviously burn them to a disc and then pop them in your computer and reboot. Sadly, it isn’t a live CD, so you’ll either need to commit to installing on a physical machine.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
