Just updated to Solaris 10 1/06 on my laptop.
Notable changes: grub is used instead of old boot assistant and console is not white on black 
Still not convinced why Java Desktop System is better than CDE
Installed firefox 1.5.0.1, thunderbird 1.5 and a bunch of stuff from Solaris Companion DVD (just needed pico or nano but finally I did install about 300MB…) Old habits die hard!
Very usable system, StarOffice just works, still no sound (audio810 does not work as advertised, everybody says it should work ‘out of the box’ on my hardware).

ifconfig iprb0:1 plumb
ifconfig iprb0:1 A.B.C.D netmask E.F.G.H up
to enable at boot time:
put host_name in /etc/hostname.iprb0:1 and add host_name entry in /etc/hosts, perhaps in /etc/netmasks if you don’t use a canonical netmask.

From yesterday I am using Solaris 10 on my laptop. I’ve removed Windows and FreeBSD. Works like a charm (except sound), includes StarOffice, I’ve installed Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice. No problems so far. CDE with DarkGold color theme is my favourite for almost eight years, since I’ve installed Solaris 1.0beta on a SUN Workstation.
uname -a output:

It seems that PowerDNS’s pdns_recursor crashes on FreeBSD under load.
I’ve replaced it by a bind recursor. Excerpt from named.conf:
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
listen-on port XXXX { 127.0.0.1; };
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
