Indeed. But this is not Solaris 10 - thats when all of this changed.


I never understood why anyone would go to Solaris 10 unless they had a 64 bit processor and compiled all their apps under a 64 bit compiler.
Sun
didn't either, which is why they originally didn't come out with a
Solaris x86
version of Solaris 10  They only came out with it after much
screaming.

I run it (Solaris 10) on a dual Athlon 2800+ MP box.  As a server.
No X-Windows.  To run java.  And it runs java better than the same
box did with Linux and the sun jvm.

Is the Java version your running restricted to Solaris 10 and above?

I don't know.


Is Solaris 10 faster/stabler with Java than older Solaris versions?

I just got involved with Solaris after 10 was made "Free" (see the yahoo Solarisx86 list for that discussion -- the same list where this thread originally started I think before it forked) so I have no baseline to compare against. I had been running a gentoo Linux 2.4.x kernel for java processing (before the FreeBSD 1.4 jvm got as good as it is now) and when the machine had problems, I put Solaris 10 on it as a test since it has some good resource management stuff for RAM and CPU etc that I wanted to use with my various java backend customers and my simple tests showed the same java apps with better performance than the same HW had with linux... ymmv
