[ale] FUD - Re: [ale] Solaris apps on linux

[John Mills]

Hi -

Not so long ago, there were 'hobby-use-only' license terms to download and
run Solaris on x86 hardware. I don't know how hardware-specific those
downloads are.

Of course this doesn't answer the question asked, since you wouldn't be
running Linux, but I wanted to mention the possibility. DISCLAIMER: I
never set up x86 Solaris.

Another nit: were you planning to run Solaris executables
for x86, or some other processor? Linux for x86, or some other processor?
If the apps weren't for the same processor, I would say the OS API is not
the issue.
