Just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.
Solaris 8, (aka Solaris 2.8) is not a new product, out of beta years ago. Even Solaris 9 was out for quite a while, which is free on Sun's site. Version 8 was free but now they charge a fee for it.
I want Solaris 8 sparc, not intel.. (3 cds?)
