For Solaris software, there's the Blastwave and SunFreeware folks.
Once I get the new machine up and running, I may see about mirroring both
collections...

I'd planned on doing a "Sun Handbook" type thing, sort of a "Linux for
Dummies" type book geared toward Solaris and Sun hardware, but I just 
don't have the time nowdays.  

SunHELP stuff takes at least  an hour a day of my time already, and I get 
very little in return except people sending me email and DEMANDING that I 
do their Java homework for them, etc.  The occasional "Wow, you just saved 
my day, thanks a ton" comment makes it all worth it though.

I've turned down multiple offers to sell the site or "sell out" and turn 
it purely into a money-making venture (purchases from my Amazon Wish List 
[0] are gratefully accepted, though..); I've been doing the site for going
on nine years now and I can't imagine *not* running it or having full 
control.
