Ummm. No. Solaris sparc is a type of Chip/OS. Sparc is a type of processor and Solaris Sparc is a version of Solaris that runs on that processor.

i don't mind paying but you need a credit card for the download .iso and I don't have a credit card. I would pay in money order but they will only accept it if it's over 195$ :eek: which i don't have :p

anyways.. thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it.

aye, i've been wanting a copy of solaris 9 for x86 for awhile now, and do to my finances, that $20/us isn't easy to come by...

too bad they don't give that away like they do the sparc version.. although i can see why... they make enough off the sparc hardware to give the software for free... but they don't control the x86 hardware so they get nothing..
