Has Oracle changed its position with regards to patch availability for
the freely available downloads of Solaris x86?
Last I heard, patches were not available with out a support contract.

If you want to run on a VAX or Alpha, I don't think Linux even is an
option. You'll have to go with some BSD. NetBSD and OpenBSD both have
support, although if we talk VAXen, I think the support is slightly
better in NetBSD.
There is still Linux for Alpha, Johnny, though it's beginning to age

Open or Net BSD are likely to be you best bets on an Alpha and I can see
advantages to each. As Johnny said NET is likely to be your best bet on a VAX.
An issue with any of these will be limited to the GNU development suite [which
also has pulses and minuses]. One thing I very much wonder is

Get OpenBSD. It's still supported on the alphas and it's genetic UNIX,
it just can't be called like that.

Hello!
Solaris also runs on SPARC. I have it running here on that. And yes
sadly Intel based Solaris is still a performance hog.
But its nice to know someone else is out there. Welcome to the party

As far as I know, Solaris these days only runs on Intel hardware. I've
tried it there, and it seems to devote way too much processor power
and memory to making pretty windowed screen displays (a weakness it
shares with most Linux distributions.)

Also, no Solaris for the VAX or Alpha at all.
