Hi Can you post an output of "lspci -v" ?
AMD platform isn't an issue because Solaris was AMD optimised till now (now it'll also be Intel optmised). It's the other things like network/wifi etc that /might/ be an issue. Only 1 primary partition (called "fdisk partitition") is needed for Solaris. Like freebsd etc, it is then "sliced" further (analogous to logical partitions) so that is a non-issue. I think it should be a good experience... a linux certified HW shouldn't have much issues under Solaris. As for the version/distribution, go for latest Solaris Express Community Edition (the lastest build right now is 72 and has quite some funky stuff). Developer edition is usually bit more tested but around half a dozen builds behind (current is based off buld 64) + Sun Studio compilers and Netbeans bundled, the latest editions of whom you can download and install from SUN site... the bundled ones are "stable" (i.e. bit old) ones. I'd recommend latest Studio 12 compiler and Netbeans 6.0 beta... (ofcourse, gcc is bundled, so Sun compilers are your "choice"). Backup first though. It isn't supposed to blow up, but why risk stuff anyways.
