Which version of Solaris is better 8 or 10? - Irinikus - 11-02-2019
When it comes to available apps, which version of Solaris is better 8 or 10?
I'm trying to get CATIA 5 up and running on my V880z and it looks like it needs Solaris 8 to run. So should I ditch version 10 for version 8?

The selection of software for Solaris is pretty limited in any case; you'll probably wind up needing to build half of anything anyway. SunFreeware used to have packages for older versions, but they've gone to a pay-for-freeware model :/ The mirror that I can find doesn't have anything for 8 or 9, just 10. OpenCSW still supports 9, I think, but their focus is on 10.

Thanks for the input!

Here's the link to CATIA 5 if anyone wants to give it a try, as it doesn't want to install on my v880z!
