I do not mean you should... But you can download Solaris8 (x86 or Sparc)
free of cost from www.sun.com. It can coexists with Linux and Windows...
though a bit tricky with linux, because RedHat Linux starting from 5.2
version label swap partition as x86 and so does Solaris, from long time.
Which causes swap partition over written...
