I have an Ultra 10 that collects dust. I bought it fully intending to 
put Solaris 10 on it, but it fails to install correctly every single 
time, for different reasons each time. I can (sort of) get Solaris 9 
installed, but it also has issues... mostly revolving around my 
frustration to rtfm. So I downloaded Aurora ISOs and have yet to try. 
I'm hoping for a pain free experience.
