Thanks a lot....

I am very new to solaris, not from tech industry. However just want to learn
Solaris out of my personal interest. It would be great help if you can help
me on how to install opensolaris instead of Solaris 10.

Also just want to know What is opensolaris' advantage over solaris 10 for
users like me

Thanks a ton
