I read yesterday that Sun is getting together with representatives from
the "user community" - apparently the outcry has been much more than they
expected. A Sun exec was quoted as not ruling out Solaris 9 on x86 at
some stage.
Re the sparc box you referred to, I have a SunBlade 100 as my desktop
machine and it is very nice. I have KDE running with the usual fancy
desktop stuff, I just need to remember I'm running Solaris and not
Linux....

As an interesting side note, I am sure most of you noticed that Sun just
announced that they were stopping development of solaris x86. This is
news,
and yet it is not. They haven't done anything worthwhile in upgrading it
for years. So, I guess all you solaris on x86 ppl with be forever stuck
in
the past so to speak. With the price of a nice little solaris on sparc
box
from sun these days, having a nice 64-bit machine really is quite
affordable
anyways. [I consider under 1k quite cheap]
