Hello everybody , I wanted to share with all of you my
desperation to get a hang of Solaris . All of you , being votaries of the Open Source Movement , could perhaps guide me as to how I can have Solaris on my box [I am speaking of both office and home , architectures being vastly different] .
I am broke , and can’t pay Sun micro any money that they might ask . Please guide me on this . I gather that Solaris is a member of the Unix family , a cousin
of Linux . Could somebody in the know of things , please
tell me from where I can gather information on : 1.
What really is Solaris ? 2.
Is it really a member of the Unix family ? 3.
How do you work on it ? (Like in Unix , SCO , Linux
etc ?) 4.
How different is it from other members of the Unix
family . 5.
How and from where can I get Solaris such that I get
all that can be summed up as ‘Solaris’ , and that too , free (!) of cost. 6.
Can I stage manage a Solaris partition , by
working through the Linux (I of
course mean : a) Setting up a proper partition for Solaris b) copying him there
c)Telling lilo to look there and also provide ability to boot Solaris , side by
side with Lin and Win) I shall be ‘immensely’ grateful for all help
and guidance anybody might be able to render. Thanks in advance, (shyamk@eth.net) |
