    Solaris 10 64-bit runs fine under VMWare on openSuse 10.2 Linux on my Precision M90. Maybe when I update to openSuse 10.3 I'll try a dual boot with Solaris, but I don't notice any performance problems under VMWare.

    Merged Idea

    As a mixed shop here (Windows, Linux (SUSE and RH) and Solaris), I would like to see Dell certified Solaris X86 hardware in the server line. It would be great to get it preinstalled and tested as well. Solaris 10 adds many hight end features not found in Windows and Linux based solutions for enterprise infrastructure needs.
