WAY off-topic.
Some of us would debate that. I personally think the Ultra 2 and the
Ultra 60 as two of Sun's greatest machines. They're practical to own,
and take processors that will make them fairly useful.
I agree that they're two of their best designs. I just think that
machines which are still pretty common in production environments, built
around a modern architecture, are hardly "classic computers". That's all.
I'm also pretty fond of Sparc 20's.
As am I.
now what to do with that?
Just about anything you can think of, except lots of floating point math.
One comment, the older the OS the better, and OpenBSD is an option.
...unless you want to use it for real work of course. (referencing
"older", not OpenBSD)
