Ok, maybe I will be able to find some useful information reading the MBSE
manual. Not today, but maybe within the next month I'll find some time to
get the latest maximus for linux installed somewhere and experiment with
DOSEMU and possibly DOSBOX. I desprately want to retire my PII450 windows
2000 box because every year some piece of hardware fails and I have to fix
it. I'd love to get it running on a Solaris zone along with all the other
stuff on the Solaris servers. If it won't run on Solaris, it will run in a
linux container which is based on CentOS.

That's what they said to me too, in December :/ I still have not received
the DVD and someone at work was also complaining. I ended up downloading it
and installing it.  If you know linux already, Solaris is very similar.
Actually it's more like BSD, as it's roots are in BSD.  Right now I'm
reading a book on Solaris 10.  I plan on switching to it permanently for my
servers and development workstation.  Looking forward to buying one of
those hot Sun workstations with a 24" screen too :)
