This is certainly a unique idea.. I don't know of anyone else that would even dare put Solaris on a libby .. :) But regardless, Solaris' x86 hardware support is not so good, and I think that even if you *DID* get it installed, it wouldn't be of much use .. I think by Unix he means an OS such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, etc.. I run FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE on my libby, and all hardware is supported, and the machine is rock solid.. I use it mainly for a portable mp3 player, keeping it in the front pocket of a hooded sweatshirt.. beautiful little machine :) I've also successfully run Debian/GNU Linux on it for quite some time, also with all hardware supported, though I didn't really have much use for it at that point. Oh, also, my libby is a 50ct, though I think the 110 should be supported similarly by most OS'. Hope this offered some useful insight, if not, oops :) - Jonathan Towne ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
