Has anyone tried the new solaris OS distributions.I am thinking of running the jarva desktop on my next pc build in tandem with 2000.The problem with a lot of these sites is that they are so technical it is difficult to tease out the basics.
Is it free yes What programmes will it be compatible with Will it run crossover emulators (such as wine) for MS based programmes? What hardware do I need Can I run it along side of windows Can I run it instead of MS on a suitable pc Does it crash like MS regularly..no It it more secure to viruses than MS...yes very stable Is it good for gamers Will it run faster and require less spec than MS xp Will old PC`s like it better? How much support is there especially for security?
I would like to use Jarva desktop but there are a number of linux/solaris distributions up and running will these simply put be a good substitute for MS on my PC? after all they are free !!!
