Hello Everyone
I am new to solaris. I want to learn it. Which version is best to learn? Solaris 8 or 9?
Where will i get Solaris 9 beta (Intel Plaform only) Download?
Regards
Vishal
My personal recommendation would be to learn on Solaris 8 to start with. Though I personally don't like or recommend CDE, it is definately what you will see most in the work world right now. Also, you may have better luck with hardware support since 8 has been around awhile.
