Not to troll, but in the interest of truth...

Yes it was, it just wouldn't install. Version 5.1 for RH Linux was 
available for download on Sun's site for about 2 months, and then just 
disappeared one day without announcement. When I called Sun for 
assistance in installing the version I had downloaded for test driving, 
they made it clear that there were heavy demands on their support group 
(associated with the new 5.1 release) and that issues with Solaris 
versions and established accounts would take priority.

That was a different time, and all may be better now. It's good to see 
somebody representing Sun ONE on the list. Hopefully, you will 
contribute more to the dialogue and project than competing vendor 
benchmarks.

On a related note, developers might want to be careful about publishing 
their own benchmarks on Sun ONE products as it is explicitly prohibited 
by their license agreement.
