just remember that they arent real. also, cut out little shreds of paper to hang around the fans, it sounds like the leaves of the trees rustling

Some clarity here would be helpful re: what is apparently not the Lem Solaris.

If you search for her on GIS, you get a lot of Russian bride sites

best part of the film is when they are driving around on the Soviet highway system in that mock end of 2001 homage

I think that was actually Japan.

I last dealt with Solaris systems in 1999. If I can help, I will, but I'm afraid I"ve forgotten almost everything I knew.

ah, its kind of ok now, i have a couple courses i think, and i wasnt sure whether to do the basic one as one of them, or self study that one, and do the intermediate and advanced.

is it good, to get into solaris?

― terry lennox. (gareth), Monday, 3 April 2006 21:34 (twenty years ago)

I think so but I'm kind of biased.

I would suggest that if you're going to self-study the basic course, befriend someone in it or the person teaching it so that you self-study the same things; it would be aggravating to either self-study all the advanced stuff and miss basic nuances or to not study enough of the basics for the intermediate/advanced stuff to make sense.

Every time I have to use Solaris it makes me cringe. I know it's got certain advantages and fans and all that but damn I miss my Linux userland GNU tools that make things feel so much nicer and less like 1989.

Solaris is:
My favorite sci-fi novel.
My second favorite OS (second only to OpenBSD).
My fifth favorite Tarkovsky film (which puts it in the bottom half).
Typical garbage from Hollywood.
I haven't played the version for Atari, can't comment on that.
(As for the Sun version - it's a KILLER version of Unix for high-end
servers. Rather pointless on generic hardware, or the desktop. "High-end"
in this context meaning roughly "more than $100,000".)

Why did Hollywood have to murder it? Why! Whyyyy!!!

― Mr Jones (Mr Jones), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 03:27 (twenty years ago)

itll be on high end suns

i have some cbt stuff to use. also i think the basic course, is actually just unix essentials, which i think i shouldnt waste a course on

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 04:52 (twenty years ago)

now i dont know what you are all talking about

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 07:44 (twenty years ago)

i like de remake!

― Real Goths Don't Wear Black (Enrique), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 08:19 (twenty years ago)

Did you try belenix in Q(EMU) yet?

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 08:20 (twenty years ago)

or even Solaris x86, but that isn't a live CD.
