where can I find programs for solaris?
I'm running Sun OS 5.9 and I need to find a place that has a precompiled version of the make command (I have no way of compiling software) and I would like to find a decent software repository, binaries are preferred but well maintained and easy to assemble (isn't lacking half a dozen dependencies on every package I download) source is just as good. In other words...help me make my install of Solaris useful.
