Hi Guys, Sorry for crashing your thread, but I was just searching around to see if anyone was running Sage on Solaris and I came upon your dicussions, I just wondered if there is a specific customer requirement that you know of for Sage on Sun as we would love to work with Sage, if there is a need for this.
If there is anything I can do to help let me know and I will see what I can do.
