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 :)
