[osol-mktg] RE: [osol-discuss] Solaris on Intel's Classmate PC?

[Stewart, David C]

I can ask around and see if there is an opportunity here for Solaris as well.  Believe the classmate PC has been going on long before the Sun-Intel alliance.

One thing I noticed is that the HW platform described only has 256MB of memory.  When I tried to install an OpenSolaris build the other day on a machine with 512MB, the install failed due to my machine not having enough memory - wanted 796MB or some such.

Is this just a packaging issue?  Can Solaris run on "small" machines?  Are there implementations which run on really tiny things like cell phones and the like?

Hi,

before it is too late and children will be infiltrated by MS
software anywhere on the world, we need Solaris in the
Intel competitive HW made against the One Laptop per Child
initative.
