Why? If you emulate Solaris for Intel, what's the point. There isn't much software for Solaris on Intel that isn't available for Linux already. If you emulate Solaris for SPARC you have soo much overhead translating the CPU instructions that it would be too slow to be really useful.
On the other hand, Solaris has (or will have in the next version, I can't remember) a Linux compatibility layer built in. -----Original Message----- From: "Franki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 00:42:11 +0800 Subject: RE: [newbie] Internet Explorer I am surprised someone hasn't written a solaris emulator.. then we could run it and any other apps that we want.. and since solaris is alot more like linux then linux is like windows, the performance hit wouldn't be so bad... still, I am happy with Mozilla.. so who cares really? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dave Sherman Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2001 12:40 AM To: Mandrake-newbie Subject: Re: [newbie] Internet Explorer On Tue, 2001-11-27 at 13:25, E Estes wrote: > I have seen screen shots of people running this on linux and was wondering where I could find it. Any and all help would be appreciated. You will need to use either Win4Lin or VMWare to run Windows under Linux, in order to use MSIE. MS will not release a Linux-native version of IE, because we are their greatest threat to Windows, and they refuse to compromise their OS monopoly. They have a Solaris-native version of IE, but AFAIK it does not run on Linux, and since there is no source available, you can't just recompile.
