However, the LiveCD is still x86 only, as the SPARC release requires
network install, and the Free CD offer is for the 2008.11 release,
not the development builds which have SPARC support in, so the free
CD he order still won't help him. (And even with network install,
an Ultra 5 is limited to 512Mb RAM, so the combined RAM requirements
of ZFS root & IPS will likely make OpenSolaris very painful on such
an old machine.)
