This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.

This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Solaris Express is free to download if you register on the Sun website. Solaris Express is based on the Nevada development versions so there is no Solaris Express 10, but there is a Solaris 10.

I put my account but it didn't work
Why not login to your account online and then use a download manager to retrieve the required files?
I'm not telling you are the only one experiencing trouble downloading these files, but tens if not hundred of thousands people have succeeded completing it, so it should work.
If you just write "it doesn't work", how would you like someone to understand where something goes wrong.
I usually use kget (a frontend to wget). I simply login to my account, agree to the licence and then copy and paste the urls for the isos into kget and a few hours later, the isos have been downloaded.
The problem with your posts is that you are saying "it doesn't work" without specifying exact details and thats not very helpful because it leaves people guessing and you won't get any accurate answers.
although i'm not a cds collector but i have no problems downloading solaris iso , usually 2 or 3 at a time and they burn very well ... all these without any downloading softwares but since somebody had successfully downloaded solaris iso with kget , i think you can try that if you like to use download manager ...
//hmm ... seems that all eyes are on you now ... ^_^
