Dear Mike, Yes, you can install Solaris on an x86 based PC. I went to the Sun website and ordered there 'free / evaluation' Solaris 8 PC installation kit.
Hi, I can not download iso file as it failed after downloading 1.1 or 1.2 gigs. I tried several times but each time it failed and the error messages like 'File not found' or 'Read error'. My connection is stable (shown 32kbps and 18 hrs completion time).
They provide the full version with Open Windows in 8 CDs or 1 DVD (your preference). Yes, as far as I know (though I have yet to try it), you can install Linux and Solaris on the same box, however, the partition types are different and you will need to have each one of the bootable partitions as the primary partition.

Sorry, I did overlook one thing; you will have to pay about US$ 30 - 40 for shipping + handling and the 'cost' of the CDs. No, it's the 'real' thing, no eval software, except for Oracle I think, which you probably don't want or need anyway.
You can install KDE, but I have yet to try it, I'll keep that in mind once I do get around to doing that, 'cause right now I am trying to implement NIS+ auth with our troublesome AD implementation:(. I don't think a download is available since you will need at least 5 CDs to do the installation, I had ordered the CDs 'cause I couldn't find a downloadable version, but then again, this was almost 1 year ago. CDE is still there. But you have the option of not installing it in favor of Open Windows.

Sun Microsystems now distributes Sun Solaris 10 freely from their website at although you do have to fill out a survey to get to the download. This torrent is for the DVD ISO image for the Sun Solaris 10 x86 October 2008 GA release, which was just released to the public near the beginning of November 2008. This is the FULL operating system on a bootable DVD (install DVD, not live DVD). Burn to DVD with your favorite ISO burner, boot with DVD in the x86 system you with to install on, and enjoy! BTW, Just like OpenSolaris has been able to do for a while now, now Solaris 10 is installing to and booting from ZFS by default!!! OMG you two a noobs.
I just wanted to see the reason this is being shared here as it amused me to see it on this site. But after seeing your comments I laughed. Once you install it you need to be signed up and registered to patch the bloody thing and without proper patching you have a very powerful hole in your network so why would anyone download this? Solaris is used in a shit load of Datacentres and when it went to Open Source everyone cheered as it stopped being such a closed off unknown and now has a massive team of developers who keep the thing protected. Umm also Oracle is the sharing type and if you actually knew how to read or had actually installed their software you would have known that.
