That would be an interesting choice considering that Sun actually offers x86 based servers running Solaris.Originally Posted by sterno![]()

Yeah, Sun's been having trouble making up their minds on what they want to do the past few years. They sell the same servers with either Solaris-x86 or Linux, but right now commercial server applications are probably more likely to be available for Linux than for Solaris-x86. It's mainly useful if you just need to add a few smaller servers to an existing Sun environment for Sun-bundled software or open source applications. Solaris is almost identical on both x86 and SPARC, so your current Sun admins can run the new systems but you can use cheap PC-class hardware.

What this industry really needs is a free OS that runs linux in the background but its solid enough to hide it from users. Kinda like OSX does to BSD.
Then give it basic functions, office type products, edit video. mp3 player software with portable support. and crap like that.
Lock the OS down so it doesn't get messed up, apps much run as apps and not jack with the OS.
Give that away for free and watch it become standard on every ultra cheap PC out there. -

Speaking of Sun, has anyone heard of or tried this out:

Its a slackware install that installs to an image file (but boots in "real mode") on your NTSF partition. Is there something like this for debian? Or for BSD? Or for Solaris? Or anything else?
Also are there any good free emulators similar to VMWare and Virtual PC?
I am already using Pear PC.
