[OT]? Sun Ultra 60

They're practical to own, and take processors that will make them fairly useful. I'm also pretty fond of Sparc 20's. My Ultra 60 has dual 450Mhz CPU's, it's far more practical than my SunBlade 1000 (to much electricity used, and heat generated). My only problem is I've never gotten a Copper GigE card. Agreed! One comment, the older the OS the better, and OpenBSD is an option. Cool! In the mean time plug in a serial terminal. The Ultra 60 is one of the few Suns I've ever used a keyboard and mouse on, though I typically used a PS/2 keyboard an mouse on mine. I have a Sun adapter that allows that, and it works with a KVM. I've not gotten any of my Sun HW set back up since we bought our house. Sun HW and a couple SGI O2's are the only real exceptions to my rule about not collecting UNIX HW. I used the Suns a lot as general purpose workstations and servers at home. Either running Solaris, or OpenBSD. Zane -- | Zane H.
