At Mon, 15 Jul 2002 it looks like Tim Kellers composed:

Well first off, I work for a Linux company and run FreeBSD all
day as my work horse and use Linux, own a Sparc box here at home
and was a Union Machinist prior to going to work in this field.
I say that to say this; use what tools you have to do the job
the easiest.

I also run Solaris-8 on an Intel box too and it runs fine
providing you make sure you have a Intel Pro nic card (or 3Com)
and not too fancy video card. If you order the lastest Solaris-8
(Intel) Media Kit it will be the 02/02 release and the following
link will lead you to the hardware compatibility list.

It's a bit of a learning curve doing the install but it's worth
the exercise if the WebCT runs on the Intel version of
Solaris-8.
