No mention on any contract > being needed (though I didn't actually try it). > you may be looking at a cached page or something. it clearly states on the page that on april 28, 2009, solaris 9 reached the last state of EOL. there's no link to download it, no link to purchase it. there *was* a link before april 28th, i happened across it mid-april, and the link was to purchase it, for i believe $80 for the media. no more, though. this again presumes that you're not logged in on some form of super-duper support contract. -- Paul Theodoropoulos
