AFAIK, sunfreeware.com has been doing it longer? That Sun never seems
to shout about it in a way that I can hear? That I can't see an easy
link to it from the Sun site's front page? Downloads -> Solaris 8
binaries sends me to a rather literal interpreation of "Solaris 8
binaries"....

I'm not knocking Sun --- they make some kit that I've found to be
reliable and solid and Solaris offers some nice features for
controlling the machine. Their support of Linux is admirable and they
slowly seem to be getting religeon; just contrast the initial release
of "Sun's" JDK for Linux with their latest announcements.

Cheers,

Simon
