I'd recommend sticking with the latest, Solaris 10, 9/10 release.
That machine will run it happily, and you'll be running cutting-edge,
extremely high-tech UNIX.
These machines are much better at being servers than at being
workstations, but you'll do fine.

Certainly a
good point. I'd not draw that line at the Ultra60, though,
because (as you know) they can be reasonably zippy if
well-provisioned. Ultra30s, Ultra1s, the previous 32-bit SPARCs,
definitely. (NetBSD hauls ass on those!)
And mine would zip even more with 450MHz processors and more memory :o)

I'm curious to see solaris working (and it may even be installed on it).
What version of Solaris would be well suited for this machine, providing
I want to do something with it (maybe file serving, web browsing, crazy
penetration tests, whatever)?
