You can go to www.sun.com and download a version of Solaris 8 for Intel machines. They still got the link there i think. Or you could order a set of CD's from the site. About $100 (I think).
If you want UNIX and on a Intel that is the best way. I assume you mean on a Intel based PC.
Or you can purchase a second hand Sun box from places like ebay.com and some come with the OS. or purchase the software on it's own.
Or (as said before) you could use Linux. Not that much difference. Well there is, but basic's are the same.
With what I have said above I assume you want Solaris flavor of Unix.
To be able to help, we really need to know;
- What flavor of Unix?
- What platform you want to run it on?

cpu_capabilities
cpu_capabilities(3alleg4) Allegro manual cpu_capabilities(3alleg4) NAME
cpu_capabilities - Contains the capability flags of the CPU. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> extern int cpu_capabilities; DESCRIPTION
Contains CPU flags indicating what features are available on the current CPU. The flags can be any combination of these: CPU_ID - Indicates that the "cpuid" instruction is available. If this is set, then all Allegro CPU variables are 100% reliable, otherwise there may be some mistakes. CPU_FPU - An FPU is available. CPU_IA64 - Running on Intel 64 bit CPU CPU_AMD64 - Running on AMD 64 bit CPU CPU_MMX - Intel MMX instruction set is available. CPU_MMXPLUS - Intel MMX+ instruction set is available. CPU_SSE - Intel SSE instruction set is available. CPU_SSE2 - Intel SSE2 instruction set is available. CPU_SSE3 - Intel SSE3 instruction set is available. CPU_3DNOW - AMD 3DNow! instruction set is available. CPU_ENH3DNOW - AMD Enhanced 3DNow! instruction set is available. CPU_CMOV - Pentium Pro "cmov" instruction is available. You can check for multiple features by OR-ing the flags together. For example, to check if the CPU has an FPU and MMX instructions avail- able, you'd do: if ((cpu_capabilities & (CPU_FPU | CPU_MMX)) == (CPU_FPU | CPU_MMX)) { printf("CPU has both an FPU and MMX instructions! "); } You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()). SEE ALSO
