No; there's no support (yet) for Microsoft's proprietary PPTP in Solaris. > *) is the SXCE x86 edition mainly 32bits, 64bits or both? "Yes." There's no simple answer to that question. The kernel automatically runs in 64-bit mode when the hardware supports it, and falls back to 32-bit mode when it doesn't. The user space applications can be 64-bit or 32-bit on a 64-bit kernel -- both are supported simultaneously -- and must be 32-bit on a 32-bit kernel. Many applications are 32-bit because that's all they need to work and because delivering two versions of them would be wasteful. A few (such as debuggers) are forced to be 64-bit and 32-bit because they deal in kernel data structures that vary depending on the type of kernel. Note that 32-bit applications have no problem handling large files on Solaris, so it's really more of an issue in run-time memory space than anything else. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
