I bought Solaris (SPARC Desktop Edition 2.5.1) from ATS Solutions, on
01925 244441. Cost me 70 quid plus VAT and was delivered the next day.
The installation nightmare story (don't ask, CD-ROM related) is
sloping about in comp.sys.sun.admin looking sorry for itself.

Solaris x86 should be much easier to install.

I wouldn't try SunSoft. Or Sun Express, unless you _really_ want to
pay the highest possible price...
