Brian's opinion first, who can ever argue when something is free? I really like the fact that sun made a dvd version available as well. Ps3 psn games download. With the wide availability of dvd drives it's much easier to put the operating system on a single dvd than having to burn and carry around multiple cds to install the operating system. Of course, you do need access to a dvd burner. Sun is making a great move by making solaris 10 open source.
The money is in the support, which is why companies that distribute linux make money. It's no surprise that below the download options for solaris 10 there is a link. A basic service plan starts at us$120 and is what you need if you want solaris 10 updates.
