Solaris Installation on PC with 1.6Ghz and 512 RAM

Hi,

I am having one PC with 1.6 GHz, 512MB RAM and hard disk with 4.0 GB

Can I install any version of Solaris. if yes then please tell me in detail or if no, then what other UNIX flavour is available with me.

Thanx.

Yes, in general you can.

I would suggest getting a bigger hard disk, and more memory if possible, but it should be possible to do an installation of Solaris 10.

You could also use OpenSolairs, the default installation is a bit smaller so that could be more suitable for your small hard drive.
