BTW the best way to try Solaris10u9 is to run it as an Oracle VirtualBox guest, which can also be run from an external USB disk. (Doing this also conveniently allows "multiboot" with SchilliX, Milax, etc., on the same machine.) My mother has been running Solaris 10, including this newest update 9, on her IBM ThinkPad notebook, which was given to her as her 90th birthday present. (If she has no problem running a Solaris desktop, I doubt anyone should.) :-) However, while her Solaris-powered ThinkPad is running as reliably as ever, the LCD screen has become kind of faded. I am thinking about getting her a new Window 7 laptop with an LED screen, and install S10u9 as a VBox guest (she has no way of running a Windows machine even though Windows 7 has shown drastic improvements over the idiotic Vista). This way she can also quickly suspend her machine by closing the lid without having to spend 2+ minutes every time waiting for Solaris to boot. Solaris 10u9 runs surprisingly smoothly as a VBox guest. However, there is no sound. This is no problem for my mother because she (almost) couldn't hear anything anyway. But the lack of audio could be a blemish for this otherwise great system. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
