>>Can I run solaris 7 on my pc? can I run my other pc applications on solaris? is there a PC compatbile something i can buy to run my apps on solaris? I would assume that solaris 7 is not currently made for x86 systems. Sun of course is porting a 64 bit system( I would assume solaris 7) over to intel systems for Merced. If you wanted to run Solaris on your pc, you can get it for minimal cost (around $20) right from their web page. I played around with it a bit, although I still use Redhat Linux since it has support for my video card that Solaris x86 didn't. One of these days I will get Xfree for Solaris and give it another try. As far as running pc apps in Solaris, I am not sure if this is possible. Linux does offer a dos and windows emulator, although I think they are still fairly buggy. I don't use them myself, I installed linux to try and minimize the amount of time I had to spend in windows.
