Solaris

Hi guys.
I'm in doubt to install Solaris 11 Express or to install Solaris 10.
I tried it a few months ago and that was totally disaster because Solaris 11 was slow
as my granny
My PC from my perspective has more than enough HW power to run Solaris 11.

Code:

OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Version:                5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
OS Manufacturer:           Microsoft Corporation
OS Configuration:          Standalone Workstation
OS Build Type:             Multiprocessor Free
System type:               X86-based PC
Processor(s):              1 Processor(s) Installed.
                           [01]: x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11 GenuineIntel
~2400 Mhz
Total Physical Memory:     2.814 MB

I have had bad experience with performance, GUI was so slow and CPU utilization was near 100% on all four cores. Main purpose is learning (shell scripting, PERL, Oracle database, C langugage, new technology). Solaris 10 is old scholl solid rock but unfortunately my NIC-s don't work under Solaris 10 and works perfectly under Solaris 11.

Did you had any bad experience ?

You should find out why the CPU usage is near 100% on all cores with your Solaris 11 Express installation. Obviously this shouldn't be the case.

I installed Solaris 10, problem is my NIC are not recognized by Solaris, Solaris 11 can recognize my wireless and ethernet.

You already wrote that in your first posting.

If you don't want to investigate your Solaris 11 Express issue, I guess the next step is to find a driver for your NIC on Solaris 10.
