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 .
=20
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 ?)=20
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]
=20
=20
I shall be 'immensely' grateful for all help and guidance anybody might =
be able to render.
=20
Thanks in advance,
([EMAIL PROTECTED])
