I recently installed 9.2.0.5 on Sun Solaris without any problems. I did find it odd that the OUI version I was required to use was 10 instead 9.something. But otherwise, it went off without a hitch. I've only been running 9.2.0.5 on this server since last Thursday so I'll wait and see if I have any other problems with it before proceeding with other servers.

Cheers,
Brian
