Title: Hello everybody ,

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, ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
