No. This is Solaris 10 6/06 (aka U2). U3 is right around the corner,
so I'm assuming they had to get rid of some surplus there. Also, sun
studio is sparc and x86/x64, not linux. The Sun Studio Express program
has a version for Linux (not just the IDE you understand, but the
actual suite of compilers).

Netbeans 5.5 is out and a DVD can be gotten for free from:
http://www.netbeans.org/about/cd-form.html

That version covers Solaris sparc and x86/x64, Mac OSX, linux, windows
with specific installers and whatever else through the plain old .jar.

BTW, anybody going to sun tech days/ open solaris day/ netbeans day in
Atlanta, GA in january? Too bad the opensolaris and netbeans days are
on the same day, would have liked to attend both. Going to netbeans,
altough I wonder if I can sneak in if there's a boring part.
