Sun is not intending to release Solaris 9 for intel at all at this stage.... Adam F

Point of correction to Adamf's post,
Sun has reversed its decision to release/ship and support Solaris 9 for Intel - x86 platform. Read all about it via the links below.

It cost my company $20 to download the Sparc version, do they charge a fee for the Intel version??

It doesn't really matter.. since we also paid $350 for the CD / bundle as well.

Does anyone have it......and put it in an ftp server
so I can download it?

I really need it......

Thank you all

is $20 really that much if you need it, they put a lot of effort into creating the product and will obviously only support future releases if there is an incentive for them to do it ...

what does $20 really buy you nowadays anyway?

if you want free software get linux, if you want a good OS, then pay the $20 ... after that you can install it on as many machines as you like.

Windows for instance costs $160, and that is obviously not good value for money. and you can only install it on a specific machine a certain number of times ...
