Making progress on the Linux --> Solaris on X86 transition Made some progress today on my Solaris X86 desktop. First, it's amazing how much crap I have in the home directory structure from hell. I have a tar'd gzip'd image of my Linux home directory structure on my spare slice that I am pulling bits off of as I need them. 5 years of neglecting my home directory structure leaves me with bits I haven't touched in as long as 5 years in obscure branches I never recall creating. Cleaning this up should save me quite a bit of disk space.
Today's installs are the flash player plugin, mplayer, the Solaris VPN client, and the AccessLine java client. All 100% painless (although I haven't actually tried the VPN client yet).
I have Ubuntu up and running under QEMU. IMHO, it's sluggish from a performance perspective, which is being addressed when hosted under Linux. I must say that I am impressed with how much QEMU can functionally do, though. Just wish the accelerator were available for Solaris on X86. I'll be following QEMU quite closely as it has really good potential.
At the moment I am installing Java Studio Enterprise 8 (Beta) and the latest JDK 1.5 and Mustang for a project I am working on. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
Update: VPN Works :)

Hi,
I realize I am responding to a very old post, but I am looking for a VPN client for Solaris 10 (x86) - do you have anything that works?
Thanks.
