Hello all,
Not sure this is the right place to ask this, if not can you point me to a more
specific forum (that is preferably active) that I can seek some Solaris help
from?
So I installed the build 82 community edition, boots up fine into the GUI. I
run it on a 2nd computer and use my dual monitors on my main machine, so
ideally I wanted to run VNC from my main machine to access the solaris box when
I need a UI, ssh otherwise. I'm mostly a GUI type of person, so I imagine I'll
use it more so than ssh as I am far from a command line linux/solaris guru.

Oh, I am running the 32-bit version, although I would love to know if there is
any benefit for my home PC (dual-core 925 intel cpus with 2GB ram, nvdia video
card) if it's worth it to put the 64-bit version on there. I am primarily
interested in setting up the XVM stuff, playing around with the different doms,
and learning how to use XVM to create virtual machines. There is that option to
start in XVM, not sure what to do from there, if anyone has pointers that would
be great as well.
Thank you.
