Solaris on x86: LOW LOW LOW PRICES

for the best prices on all x86 based SunSoft products. Such as:

* Netra
* NSolaris
* Solstice
* SolarNet
* etc.

Turn that old x86 box into a powerful SUN workstation.
Remember 95% of all Sparc-based SunSoft products also runs on x86.

] Why should I turn my x86 box into a "powerful SUN workstation" when it
] is a powerful Linux workstation?

I have considered doing this when I needed an OS to run software
like Fresco that won't run threaded under Linux.

So I can fire up the sybase server I have for sparc on this
product? I don't think so...but I could be wrong.
I've seen solaris 2.4 x86 and was not impressed. Linux was
faster, and the distribution I have is much more complete.

Huh?

Testimonial from a Solaris/x86 and Linux user/admin:

SOLARIS IS A BIG PILE OF DOGGY-DOO!
