I wouldn't recommend it to someone not already familiar with some flavor of Unix. I don't know squat about unix. But still, if I set it up on a spare HD it'll give me something to play with...you know...satisfy my inner geek. :)
To: Sam Cree
hey Sam... yer welcome to come up and join in the mayhem...
To: g'nad; Overtaxed
OT, I think you better trek up for this moot. Someone has to take pictures!
To: Lil'freeper
*shakes her head* *doesn't quite know what to say* be afraid... be very afraid...
To: Overtaxed
I have no inner geek.
I want to tell time, not build a watch! (call me lazy)
To: HairOfTheDog
Can't stand to be around drunks!
To: HairOfTheDog; Overtaxed

To: Overtaxed
HA! - What if you just went as a journalist?

Sun sells a version of Solaris which runs on PCs, you can order it from their website at www.sun.com. IIRC it costs $20 or $25. But, as Lil'freeper said, I wouldn't recommend it to someone not already familiar with some flavor of Unix.Thanks for the info, Bear. Someday I'd like to set up a Unix box of some sort, just to goof around with. I've worked with Solaris before, but I don't know how to do much beyond the basic getting around sort of stuff...the sort of commands they'd teach you in Unix 101, I guess! Basic administration, but not much more.

I want to tell time, not build a watch! I'd still have a more or less working watch for time-telling purposes.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Did not know that! Thanks for the info.
Played with Solaris in college- my dept. had a ton of Sun machines. We crunched star spectra with them. (Sun? Star? Solaris? Get it? *doofy geek laugh* ) I especially liked the multiple desktops (that one of the Linuxs ripped- can't remember which one...). Now I play on SGIs running Irix 6.something. I'm not an admin- and though our sys-dude keeps trying to recruit me, I never want to be. Just a data-crunching user who likes it when the machines work.
To: Overtaxed
hey young lady... I'm a lush... not a drunk...
besides... I'm calm and soft spoken when I drink...
To: Lil'freeper
Off to class- Hasta Pastas!
To: g'nad
You sweet-tawking thang!
To: Overtaxed
That's me alright...
To: All
Bye all!
I'm off to the dentist. ;)
There's still plenty of chicken soup left over and a couple dozen biscuits. Help yourself!
To: g'nad; Corin Stormhands
If I am in VA, which I am sometimes, I will show up. I still have a quart jar of peach shine, that I got for Christmas, that I haven't drunk yet.
To: RMDupree
Good luck with the dentist, then.
To: Sam Cree; Corin Stormhands
well... if you can't be here, how 'bout yer 'shine?...
