Pretty straight forward. Downloaded Solaris 11.3 .iso image (text) version. installed as a Parallels OS. WOrked like a charm. Had to do additional UNIX work to get gnome desktop, a c++ compiler, other stuff I wanted installed (a Solaris thing...). I am impressed..... I am running a MacMini (late 2012), 16 Gb memory, 1 TB Samsung EVO SSD (HUGE difference, as I started with normal 5400 drive -- GO SSD...) I run El Capitan, Windows 10, and Solaris now all at same time -- no problem!!
