more effort? in what way? Solaris 9 is easily available from sun.com downloads

Download Gnome 2.0 from the Sun Site if you like the linux "look n feel". That
should help.

admittedly, i haven't seen much advertising in the way of solaris on intel, but
then again, i don't read many magazines etc...
