Hi,

Can we have Solaris 10 ISOs for x86 on DVD sometime?

Solaris is currently the most advanced Unix, and to have it for free (Free as in speech - OpenSolaris, and free as in Beer) is too good an offer to pass.

It has features (DTrace) that would be extremely useful to developers, and of course System Administrators would love to have their hands on a copy since Solaris Adminstrators seem to command a good salary.

If you are wondering whether magazines can distribute Solaris, well one magazine (Australian Personal Computer) has already distributed it. Sun's Solaris Engineer, Alan Hargreaves has blogged about this at:

Solaris 10 is available at:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp

The source code for the Solaris Kernel is now open source. The Sun Studio Compilers and GCC can be used to build the kernel. The kernel can be obtained from:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/

The Sun Studio Compilers can be obtained from:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/..._studio_tools/

If you cannot have this in July, can we have this in August?
