Hi Gurus
Can any one tell me, if I want to add a RedHat or Mandrake Linux as Solaris 8 client what are the steps I should do ?

Thanks in advance
Waldron

What are you trying to do? You just mean as a desktop end?

Personally I'd recommend Mandrake - it's much nicer and doesn't have so many blips with installation as RedHat does (eg: RH can be a nightmare with multiple IDE drives and can kick up a stink over cable select mode).

You shouldn't have any problems mounting NFS file systems etc. Quite simple stuff, although I'd still rather have a sun box at the desktop end just because solaris is so much easier to admin than Linux.

Obviously cost becomes a factor here though :)
