Get Free Sun OpenSolaris CD

[MetalheadGautham]

AFAIK, Solaris servers are also very stable. At least compared to Windows

Compared to windows even macintosh is stable. But I asked compared to FreeBSD, Debian, Gentoo and Slackware.

I got mine on Monday within 2 weeks. The packaging was pathetic but thankfully that didn't damage the disc.

Got it daybefore yesterday , checked it with my laptop , Display was detected properly and drivers loaded but no ethernet or Wifi drivers worked with it .. have to check it on my computer on my next reboot. root account is not enabled by default.

It makes little or no point in getting OpenSolaris when Solaris itself is opensource and free IMO. Whats the difference ?

OpenSolaris comes as a LiveCD and main audiance is new guys wanting to try our solaris , where as Solaris is for intermediate to advanced users as well as enterprise users.
