If you're running Solaris on x86, then you're free to try PostgreSQL
out there.  It works quite well on SPARC; it is not evident that/why
it _wouldn't_ work on the x86 version.

On the other hand, the impression that I got was that the "pushing"
taking place with Solaris x86 was more of the "into the dumpster" sort
than "pushing hard to customers."  I thought their new strategy
involved Linux on x86...

a shave.''"  <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
