It wasn't until last week during a meeting with Sun that some
new light was shed on the Solaris Check Tool and as a result we decided
to explore this tool further. Sun's Check Tool is a bootable CD that
lets the user know whether the hardware they have installed is likely to
work with Solaris or not. If a third-party driver is needed for a
particular piece of hardware, the Sun Check Tool will even provide a
link to the driver needed. There are currently a few rough spots with
the tool, but improvements are planned and in this article we will share
more information on this program that can tell you in a matter of
minutes whether you'll face a hardware compatibility nightmare or will
be running Solaris/Solaris Express with ease.
