Here's the info on the two systems - first the SPARC system, secondly the Intel Xeon system. 1) SPARC * Sun Blade 2000, with 2 x UltraSPARC III+ 1200 MHZ processors * 8 GB RAM * Solaris 10 update 8 10/09 release (This is the latest release of Solaris 10). drkir...@swan:~$ cat /etc/release Solaris 10 10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

I can't provide such easy access to the Xeon system, though you can install OpenSolaris as a Virtual machine in VirtualBox quite easily - its a free download.
