Does anyone know if Postgres runs/will run on Solaris
10? If not, will it be released for that OS?

Uh, it should work fine.

At some point, probably. It would be surprising for version 10 to be
_so_ incompatible with its predecessors that PostgreSQL would be
totally broken there.

But Sun seems to still be in the "preparing to release it" phase; it
will be tough to predict what happens before release. And it's not
evident that version 10 is necessarily something to jump to quickly.

-> If it's not much different from Solaris 9, then there's likely
little value to leaping to 10 quickly;

-> If it _is_ terribly different, then there's a significant risk
in being an 'early adopter.'
