Preface

The Solaris Trusted Extensions Transition Guide describes the differences between the Solaris Trusted Extensions release and the following releases:

• The Trusted Solaris^TM 8 releases

  The differences include labels, a modified desktop, a modified windowing system, and modified administration tools.

The most recent changes to the software are described in Differences Between Trusted Solaris 8 Software and Solaris Trusted Extensions.

Note - This Solaris release supports systems that use the SPARC^® and x86 families of processor architectures: UltraSPARC^® , SPARC64, AMD64, Pentium, and Xeon EM64T. The supported systems appear in the Solaris 10 Hardware Compatibility List at https://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl. This document cites any implementation differences between the platform types.

• “x86” refers to the larger family of 64-bit and 32-bit x86 compatible products.

• “x64” points out specific 64-bit information about AMD64 or EM64T systems.

• “32-bit x86” points out specific 32-bit information about x86 based systems.
