The DVD+R[W]'s burn faster on average, but if your drive supports both modes at the same speed, there is effectively no difference.

That's in Canadian dollars. It's around $800-$900 US, so the price isn't that bad. Still, the actual machine is fairly nice. It's got a shared memory video processor, and not a very powerful one at that, so gaming will suffer. ...

It's not hda1 in Solaris. It's c0d0. Actually, I think that's true for all UNIX operating systems. But yeah, I have two partitions: NTFS from 0-44 GB, and Solaris's FS (whatever it is) from 44 to 60-ish. But I haven't had any...

Solaris 10 news: I have downloaded, merged, and installed the DVD version of Solaris 10 successfully on my M6810. I hit a few snags along the way, and thought I should share them: (1) Merging the files was a pain in the butt. ...

Should, unless you're accessing Sparc only stuff, like inline assembly, custom made libraries for Sparc computers, etc.

I got parts 1 and 2 of the DVD version, and am working on the rest. If you download them "slowly" (one at a time) you tend to get it. At least I did. Might be a few days more. And I do plan on running a dual boot system,...
