From yahoo news

"After investing roughly $500 million and spending years of development time on its next-generation operating system, Sun Microsystems Inc. on Monday will announce an aggressive price for the software — free."

Guess this could give redhat a few sleepless nights, I certainly am looking forward to giving it a go.

Is this then the only 'offically branded' unix to be free then?

free!= freedom
it's doubtful if it will give redhat any sleepless nights - solaris hardware support is pretty limited.
