Its just like yum on centos and apt-get on Ubuntu. Its an easy way to installing applications on Solaris avoiding dependency problems ???

I really appreciate it. I apologize for the delay in my reply. I guess the festival fever was getting on top of me :) Sun releases the Solaris 10 operating system themselves. As far as I know, Solaris 10 comes only in one version. I mean that it does not offer different versions like Ubuntu. But Solaris 10 itself is a server version just like the Red Hat Enterprise Edition which installs the Graphical interface by default. During the Solaris 10 installation, we don't get options to disable the GUI interface like the way FreeBSD or Debian do. But if you don't want the Graphical Interface for your Solaris box, you can manually disable it by using the following command(s). To disable the GUI: # /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d To enable the GUI again: # /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e Also there are 2 additional versions of Solaris based on the OpenSolaris project: (1.) Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE) — OpenSolaris-based distribution for Solaris, Java, and Web 2.0 application developers * Price: Free license * Release schedule: Release every 3 months * Support * Patches: Not available (2.) Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) — OpenSolaris-based distribution for OpenSolaris developers (formerly called Solaris Express Community Release) * Price: Free license * Release schedule: Every 2 weeks * Support: none * Patches: Not available Hope that helps. I will surely write more articles regarding the Solaris operating system in the future after doing further readings and experimentations. Thanks once again for your comments. Hi Matthew,

I'm also a system administrator. I work at a boarding school in the United States. Your transparent bridge proxy article seems especially good. It's how I found your blog. I'll be following your directions as soon as I get a chance to work on it. I already run squid and squidguard, but I have to tell each client to use the proxy server. Building a bridge like this would be very useful. As for this post, I've had many bad experiences with Java technologies. I'd be interested in reading more of your experiences with Solaris (which of course isn't Java, but it is Sun). Also, does Solaris come in a server version without a GUI (like the ubuntu server)? Anyway, keep up the good work. Thanks for writing so many useful articles. I’m also a system administrator. I work at a boarding school in the United States.
