[ug-bosug] Solaris on most Dell hardware - works just fine

[Sriram Narayanan]

Folks:

I read with interest this news article :
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0%2C1895%2C2216876%2C00.asp

I can myself confirm that Solaris 10 and SXCE/SXDE run just fine on
almost all the Dell hardware that I've tested these on.

The only exception has been a Dell Latitude D620 (with a 64 bit CPU -
different from the earlier D620s that had a 32 bit CPU).

For video, the NVDia drivers work just fine, and the server drivers
section at the Broadcom site has Network drivers for Solaris 10.

It's nice to hear of a formal support by Dell for Solaris 10 and for
Opensolaris - this means that one can now download well tested drivers
direct from the Dell website for Solaris-Ready hardware.
