"My Ultra 30 has a single 300MHz Ultra SPARC IIi IIRC :)"

"Wow all this Sun talk reminds me I still have my old Netra server lying on the floor in the garage, took it out of service a few years ago when I had to reduce the number of running boxes at home!
Think it has dual 300Mhz 64 bit procs in it! :)"

"You need to try it out man. You can get it for x86, including a VM for VirtualBox. It's great :)"

"Brilliant :) ahh, quite capable then. I do like the containers idea - linux equivalents aren't as good. ZFS also seems quite a capable filesystem if you have the resources. "

"No, get binaries for PHP, MySQL etc, can even run NetBeans directly if you so choose. Desktop is Gnome based. Wouldn't run Debian in a million years when there's Solaris available for it. Got some awesome features. DTrace, Doors, Containers, ZFS, RBAC instead of SUDO, Thank you please"

"Hmm. Sounds good :) will you need to compile tools etc from source? Have you thought about Debian? "

"Was gonna go for Solaris 11, but my framebuffer isn't supported, so I need to either replace it or return to 10 or 9. Probably 9. Don't wanna run it headless"

"Ah right, fair enough :) OS are you planning on using for dev purposes? "

"Well it came with a single 600 in it, so yeah :D You can't compare speeds of an Ultra SPARC with an x86 for example"

"Cool :) is it fairly fast with just a 1.2GHz cpu? "

"Most recent Sun hardware I have is a Blade 1000 with a 1.2GHz Ultra SPARC CU and 8GB RAM. Gonna add another CPU soon and make it my dev machine"

"This is the only one we have, but it's pretty good... just does NFS storage for XenServer hosts :) A few people I know with same models and have upgraded the firmware, or newer Oracle models have had issues though."

"I do love Sun kit :)"

"Apparently... :)"

"Oh, that's an air duct, huh?"
