Starting with Solaris 2.5.1, quickly updated to Solaris 2.6 on a Toshiba 480 CDT (still running on it!), then Solaris 2.6, 7, 8 AND 10 on my Toshiba Libretto 110CT (yes, I have Solaris 10 03\/05 up and running on that small box, with only 64 MB of RAM, and only 233 MHz! When I find more time, I will report here, how I did it (Thanks, Casper!)). Then Solaris 8, 9, and 10 on a Dell Inspiron 5000, and now Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris (dual boot) on my Toshiba Tecra M2.<\/p>\n<p>Before I joined Sun, I also did use Solaris\/x86 on a couple of servers at the company I have been working for, so, honestly, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heise.de\/kiosk\/archiv\/ix\/1997\/11\/88\">Solaris<\/a> was one of the reasons I joined Sun.<\/p>\n<p>During all these years I did buy some copies of SuSE Linux, but never really used them. I found Linux too much of a hassle in patching and keeping it up-to-date. So, SuSE got &#8220;money for nothing&#8221; from me&#8230; ;-)<\/p>\n<p>Although it sometimes was difficult to get all work done under Solaris, today, I don&#8217;t really have anything missing (OK, I have to admit, we all MISS Adobe&#8217;s Acrobat Reader for Solaris\/x86! Johnny L., fix that!). That can easily be seen at the messages, I get, when I sometimes, just for fun, boot the laptop into Windows. I always do get the &#8220;your virus protection definition file is out of date for more than 2 weeks, please update&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So, please all, let&#8217;s get up, and sing:<\/p>\n<p>Happy Birthday to You, OpenSolaris!<\/p>\n<p><small>tags: <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/opensolaris\">opensolaris<\/a> <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/birthday\">birthday<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What shall I say?
