Solaris 9 x86 Review

ValourX writes "Here is a review of Solaris 9 x86, 08/03 edition. Now that the single-CPU edition is free to download for non-commercial use, people will be compelled to write a Solaris CD and try it out. Read this first -- there are a lot of things you should know before you begin. You might want to check out the documentation or explore other resources like the hardware compatibility list as well."

    Boring thread. Just because patches are release doesn't mean everyone is patching. I for one use Sun on sparc boxes but would not use the x86 version. It's a matter of opinion, and choice. If you had the slightest 'clue' you could netcraft my domains to see what I'm using. I've given up the "my penis is bigger than yours", Linux vs. *, or Sun vs. *, or Microsoft is * because it's so tiring. As for Trusted Solaris, I doubt you've ever used it but if you want an account let me know because I have a blade running it. Your post makes me laugh considering again if you had an inkling of an idea, you would've halted a long time ago with your babbling. So I restate... I posted what's known (exploits), this does not include code that never makes it out. Certainly you've heard of private exploits there neo haven't you? Did it ever occur to you some people really don't whore shit out and release codes, or work with vendors instead of mail -s "i 4m j33t" bugtraq@securityfocus.com? Give me a break.
