- I have no tentative dates for FCS of Sol2.1 or the -50 modules,
- but I believe 2.1 will be out before the modules.
-
- You cannot run Sol2.0 on a sun4m machine. It supports only sun4c.
- This also means that Sol2.1 is needed for the SPARClassie and
- the LX. As these machines are supposed to ship in December,
- Sol2.1 can't be far...
-
- In fact I was able to lay my dirty little hands on Solaris 2.1
- Beta, and it looks quite nice on my IPX.
