My New OS

Hey guys, I've installed a new OS yesterday. The New Solaris 10. wow.. i was very pleasure when I got it last friday. it was the day i came back from Jakarta to Bandung. the day when I left Jakarta, it got flooded all parts of the city ;(

I got the cd originally from Sun Microsystems. they gave the new Solaris 10 DVD for free. there are three DVD that they gave:
1. Solaris OS for x86/64
2. Solaris OS for SPARC architecture
3. Developer Tools DVD

I just curious, wanna feel how's the taste of Solaris. it's all about unix isn't it. I wanted to taste it in my own notebook.

so... it wasn't easy enough to install it. there are few (may be many.. ;)) that I haven't got it. so the installation didn't get smooth, but I just installed it once. 'cause fortunately I didn't have to reinstall it if i got error nor not installed completely. if the installation got error, it would help us to recover any files that needed to be fixed.

I had a "little" difficult for the GRUB. the Solaris only could detected the windows. not my Gentoo. after a little try modifying the menu.lst file, I didn't make it. so I did a little browse to find out. in the middle of browsing seeing any examples of menu.lst file. i just realize that the configuration of the menu.lst file between linux and Solaris are not the same way. so I added the new line to boot my Gentoo. and then... guest what.. it can boot all of my OS now... wooww...

now, this is the list of OS that are installed in my notebook;

1. /dev/hda1 - Mi**os**t Win***s
2. /dev/hda3 - The Solaris 10
3. /dev/hda8 - Gento0 distribution

well, there's one more problem I haven't got the chance to try, is to try boot from the GRUB of my Gento0...
