I have a 3-part disk:

I want to replace the third partition with solaris 10, mainly for
studying this OS. I burned the DVD. Will it install solaris on this
third partition without trouble? Will I be able to continue to use the
FreeBSD bootloader or do I need to isntall sol's grub?
The documentation on SUN and solaris is huge. Many many pdf files..
Are there better ways then these pdf's? Good books on solaris 10?
Starting points on the net? I ask here because I know lot of you guys
here have also installed solaris 10 (at least I remember seeing it here)
Hope to get some advice and reading points. I have years of experience
with linux and FreeBSD and like to explore new (OS) challences.
I did something like that (WIN2k instead of XP) last year - no
problem. You might feel better if you had some kind of bootloader
disk at hand (something like GAG (my favourite), grub or
whatever).
At that time I was very disappointed of solaris:
- very slow
- very old versions of software
Tell me if that has improved. I decided to test Debian instead,
and am very satisfied with it.
Regards,
Uli.
