"OpenIndiana works on most PCs (help us support SPARC<http://openindiana.org/getting-involved/>). All downloads support both 32-bit and 64-bit processors. 64-bit mode is automatically selected if at least 900 megabytes of memory (RAM) are available. " Working on it sounds like a fun project and a topic for another mailing list. It's been a long day. Thanks for the help and suggestions. See you peoples later, night.
