Actually I would advise against sunfreeware.com if you are unfamiliar with
Solaris. A more user friendly pkg repository that performs it's own
dependency checking, installation, and performs pgp key checks automatically
on packages is blastwave.org. Their approach also plays nice with Solaris'
pkg management system after the packages are installed.
