Sun have made Solaris (Sparc and x86) available for free download.

Likewise,
I've been running it on a Sparc 20 for the last couple of months.
Must say though, that OpenBSD 3.3 runs a lot faster on the same hardware.
When I downloaded it, I was asked how many processors
I'd be running it on and was granted two licenses free of charge.
Un*x comes in different flavours and so does freedom.

Was talking to one of my lecturers today because me and some of the lads from college are buying ourselves a server and we were thinking of putting Solaris on it (it being an intel system) and well we were reccomended that putting some other flavour of linux might be best for an intel system, plus he has a sun machine that we can use in anyways as well.

Was also thinking of putting this on my lap top, i might still try it for a while for the fun of it and too see if i can get it working.

it's both wasted and ****e (performance) on x86.
