Has anyone installed solaris alongside 9.3? Any issues or comments?
Yes......why install it? ;)

Maybe because SuSe 9.2 crashed and burned after only 2 weeks, and I have been loath to buy 9.3?
9.2 caused me no end of issues.. but 9.3 has been rock solid and is worth the price of admission. I suddenly and without notice didn't have permissions to execute man <whatever> as a user or as root in 9.2 .. it got worse as time went on. I almost moved to FreeBSD because of the issues... and had it not been a company directive that the servers I was building be SUSE.. I would have. :/
You'd be regretting that every day when you first tried to update lol. A few months ago they had a TELNET problem or something along those lines that form what I heard needed a Kernel up or reboot. One fo the two.
Free BSD is great for servers if you already use it, but after using Linux, you won't want to. The hardware support blows, sort of like the Solaris thing does.
lol. Hardware support, I could probably write every device Solaris supports on the inside of a coke can in finger paint.
Pretty handy on SPARC though - runs those devices a treat! Anyone using Solaris on either x86 or SPARC should have a look at Blastwave (http://www.blastwave.org), which makes it superbly easy to install and to keep up-to-date a vast range of software that it is otherwise painful to find and instal, e.g. latest kde or Gnome. I'm surprised there hasn't been more fuss about it, and that Sun hasn't trumpeted it more. In many ways it works a lot better than anything I've seen for Linux or other nixes. Best Fergus
