Well, while the Ferrari is supported, the pieces needed to really make it work are not released in full yet. Casper released some stuff on his blog not long ago, but it doesn't include all the pieces. I don't think Rich's Q was very applicable, most all laptops are in the same boat, and most run Solaris quite well. > BTW, I sensed that no one here seems to like HP, & that animosity seems to > extend to HP's x86 systems. Not completely correct. I hate their laptops, but some of their servers are fine. The laptops are klunky, IMO. There is a page on the HP website of the systems that are supported on Solaris x86, all of which are server class systems in the x86 space. > I don't claim to be an HP expert, but my experience with HP is, it a > company whose right hand doesn't know/care what its left hand is doing.

This message posted from opensolaris.org I haven't seen one of their Turion laptops yet, and Bruce Riddle installed Solaris to a EM64T laptop, which barely mentioned on the HP website that it had the chip in it...go figure... -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering - Sun on Sun is the way of the future! _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
