What's New in the Solaris 9 9/04 Operating Environment

Preface

What's New in the Solaris 9 9/04 Operating Environment describes all features that are in the SolarisTM 9 9/04 release. Chapter 2 provides a list of all enhancements that were made available in the original Solaris 9 release, which was released in May 2002. Chapter 1 summarizes new features that have been added to the Solaris 9 9/02 release and all subsequent Solaris 9 releases through the Solaris 9 9/04 release.

All of the features in the Solaris 9 9/04 release pertain to both UltraSPARC® systems and x86 systems unless otherwise noted. In this document the term x86 refers to the Intel 32-bit family of microprocessors and compatible 64-bit and 32-bit microprocessors made by AMD. Many more x86 systems now run Solaris software, as the Solaris Hardware Compatibility List shows. See http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl. This document cites any implementation differences between the platform types.
