Thank you very much for making me aware of this. I was a bit surprised there was no version for Solaris, as some older web pages mention what will be needed to version 2.8.1 running on Solaris, which I assume is quite old now.
I will keep a lookout for some notices about a Solaris version of sage. In the intervening period I will have to use Mathematica. I can use Mathematica for no personal cost to me, but I'm not keen to get locked in to this system.
