Solaris 9 (Ready for Prime time??) 2

[robbLA]

Hi,

I know that Solaris 9 is officially a beta right now, but has anyone used it and found it stable?

I'm thinking about installing it on a home box to play with, but I don't want to spend hours installing/setting up/configuring before I find out that it's really not ready...

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks! --

Hi,

We have a dev box, quite heavily used, which has been running 9 with no problems for 6 weeks now...

If you want any more specifics, let me know and I'll try to give you what you want, but in general, I say go for it! Adam F

For home use, I don't see any problems.
For office, be aware that SUN had to rewrite the kernel and just about every command to get rid of the stack buufer overflow security issue. When you do a major rewrite like this, you will encounter bugs. Too bad I.T. is not cash business
