-<para>Solaris has long been well-supported by Nmap.  Sun even donated a complete SPARCstation to the project, which is still being used to test new Nmap builds.  For this reason, many Solaris users compile and install from source code as described in <xref linkend="inst-source" />.</para>

-on his site, and are generally very simple: download the

-As is generally the case with contributed binary packages, these

-compiling from source are that a newer version may be available and
-you have more flexibility in the build process.

+<para>Solaris has long been well-supported by Nmap, though we rely
