Every two weeks there is new build (annunced on opensolaris.org/os JIVE forums) of OpenSolaris SXCE (Solaris Express Community Edition), currently build 90, about every quater Sun creates SXDE (Solaris Express Developer Edition) which is then tweaked/fixed to be a Solaris 10 $MONTH / $YEAR update.

For Solaris resources check docs.sun.com lots of good docs there, especially for virtualization, a near 40 chapter book about virtualization for example
Just browsing;

http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp#download

and the licence of Solaris 10. It need Entilement document to use it, not so free as OpenSolaris.

It seems no BT download available. Is 64bit version available? Where to download it? Thanks
