[ale] OT: solaris on a laptop?

The partition ID collision btw Linux and Solaris has been fixed in Solaris
Express 11/04 aka beta 8 aka build 72.

There is a laptop compatability list at:

Although it is a very short list, you can piece together enough info to get
some idea whether you will have any success. Solaris 10 is rapidly becoming
one of my favorite operating systems. Once project Janus makes it into the
release, it may become my primary desktop OS.
