Charles, Congratulations on your purchase of the SUN hardware. IMHO it is the one thing that SUN does best. I did not know about the one patch, can you please send me more information on the file name. Also the $20,000 to $99 was a reference to the way MOST people buy each product. Most people either buy $99 Windows 95 or get it for free with their system. MOST people running Solaris buy it on $20,000+ workstations. My complaint about Sun's support is mostly that I don't like the way they do it. I know they have patches online, but they don't (to my knowledge and maybe I should check this) have a knowledge base online. I use that more than I us MS's patches. Speaking of MSFT's software being full of holes, look at all the patches on SUN's site.. I think there's more. Anyway to cut a long argument short, I think SUN's support could be much better organized and tehrefore more efficient. Steve. PS After you have run Solaris on the Workstation for a while, you will not like it on x86 anymore, trust me;)
