 About Solaris on PC...
Dear Experts,
Can I run the Solaris on PC to prepare the Exam? Someone told me that there have some commands needed to test on UltraSPARC. Is it true?
Thanks.
Ian

It is true that some commands can not be executed on solaris running on a pc. (Like there is no provison for executing open boot commands)
But you can execute most of the commands on a pc running solaris, it is cheap than investing on a sparc machine.

I think you should do ok by installing it on a PC.
Last time I installed Solaris was on an AMD based pc. Had problems with the floppy and had to install a patch. There were also issues with the NIC, and had to install the drivers from a pervious version of solaris.
Solaris is picky about hardware, so read the HCL before you start doing anything.
One thing you could consider is free solaris-based shell access. I know there are various internet sites that allow you to obtain free (restricted) shell access. That's a good way to get you moving.
cheers,
voirin

Try to get the solaris Intel and install on the PC. If dun have, you have to get the SPARC machine and install the sparc edition.
Indeed, solaris is very particular abt the hardware, display card and NIC Card.
Check out the hardware requirements before you install the solaris. It's unlike Microsoft, that most of the hardware are supported.
If i not mistaken, the download for solaris intel has cancel. You actually have to pay for the CD and shipping fees. I think it's quite alright, as long the knowledge you gain from it, will strengthen your market value.
Good lucks in your learning.
Cheers!!!
