This is where it starts with OpenSolaris. I've got a spare Dell Optiplex gx110 that I try out new Linux distros on. Now it's going to be a test bed for OpenSolaris.

First step is downloading everything. Well, almost first step. Real first step was going out and buying a new sleeve of CD-R's , because I don't know where the last one went. Then,

Before you begin, you will need to read the Release Notes. Really. The whole thing.

So, I did that, too.

Now, I'm waiting for isos to come down, as well as Sun Studio 10. Overall, looks like about an hour and a half. Then burn and start install.

I'll probably get to the actual OpenSolaris parts tomorrow.

So, a free-as-in-beer license for Sun Studio 10, to go with the new free-as-in-speech OpenSolaris.

Time to dust off one of the Netra T-1's in the basement, and see what this puppy can do.
