[geeks] Solaris 10 download questions

Hi,

About a week ago, I downloaded solaris 10, 10/04 preview version. This
was before the announcment that it was now "ready for prime time", or in
plain English, Solaris 10 was being released.

Now that it has been released all I see on the web site is the 10/04
preview version. I expected to see an 11/04 release version. Am I missing
something? Is the 10/04 preview actually the 11/04 release?

I only care as I am running older systems and want to upgrade them. They
are both very slow so an upgrade takes most of a day to run on each
(one is an Ultra 5, the other is a PPro X86). I'd hate to run the upgrade
and then find out that if I had clicked on the right icon, I would have
found a later release and have to do it over again.

Dowloading them is not a problem, even here in Israel, I can set up a download
script using wget and download all of the SPARC and X86 disks while I'm
asleep.

TIA for your thoughts.

Geoff.
