I have to agree with Scruffy. I'm running Solaris 10 on an Ultra 10 Workstation (440mhz, 512mb RAM) right now, it's a bit sluggish at times. In some areas it's 1000x better than Solaris 9, in other's it worse.

Classic chicken-egg situation... You can't get any of those browsers until you set up the WLAN... and you can't do that until you have the browser. Originally Posted by texanpenguin

Lynnsoft makes a Solaris driver that "adds support for PLX 9052-based PCI adapters and 802.11b Wireless cards (Netgear MA301, LinkSys WDT11)." The downside is the driver will cost you $99.

Thanks for the replies
I have Solaris 10 downloaded and ready to go, I could get solaris 9 installed. Currently the unit has SuSE installed on it. How sluggish is Solaris 10? Would it drive me totally nuts? This machine is my playground machine so to speak, so I dont mind messing with it but if solaris 10 is going to be ultra sluggish I might just skip it <<------------------------------>>

On mine, it's a toss up. Certain thing are slower under 10, then again certain things are faster. I actually found Solaris 9 to be sluggish on my machine before trying 10. Since it's a 5 year old computer, I can't complain too much though. I choose to stay with Solaris 10 for now, was kinda hoping the final release is a bit faster than the previews. I haven't really had a chance to test the final release yet...it's on there, just haven't had the time.
