Solaris 10 other goodies e
I saw an Infodoc recently that insisted on some additional instructions to have MySQL running on Solaris 10. Quite amazing… Then I thought that I would put out a document that would list some of the nice S10 features that are NOT often talked about… Here is a list with some comments. Tell me if something you are really using is missing. These features are available on the 3 platforms : SPARC, x86, x64 ( Opteron ).
Mysql : the world’s most popular Open Source database.
