Sunsoft has sent me an package offer for Solaris x86 2.1, and their
C and C++ development platform for about $1200. I've been seriously
considering this but I have a couple of questions...

#1 To those that have purchased solaris and are using it, is
this a good deal?

#2 What is the best x86 platform for solaris? A recent BYTE
article rated an ALR machine best "overall" for unix.

Dell's and Compac's are the hottest toys out there. Standard vendor's that
have there own R&D budget are usualy supported. A CPU with PCI slots and a
Pentium or 100Mhz DX4 chip are good. You want to get high speed graphics.
So if the vendors graphics doesn't suite your needs, get a card like
Matrox's (did I spell that right) MGA card. It's a good card for Display
Postscript.
