I'm running Solaris 2.6 x86 on an AMD-K6-2 350MHz for about 3 or 4
months now (because I need latest Java stuff like JMF for my
studies). It works very good! A little bit more memory would be nice,
I just have 64MB! ;-)) I guess CPU's are well supported. Other
hardware may cause problems. If you want to know, if your computer can
run Solaris, you should take a look at the
hardware-compatiblitiy-list.

Well, it doesn't feel as fast as Linux. But if you have another
Solaris box, you can take advantage of the really fast NFS, which is
much better than linux NFS.
