I've compiled from source and booted on a little v125 and two v440.

Love it!

Is sparc still useful?

I found a busted SunBlade 2500 at the office.

Now that it's on my desk what should I install?

While I like Solaris 10 on my big servers it seems pointless on an old junker with 4GB ram.

So what are my options? NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Linux?

Turns out I have no options. I've tried all of the above and none of them work! Not even the amazing run anywhere NetBSD.

Everyone should have ESXi at home!

I upgraded the host to 8GB RAM as I was worried about OpenSolaris choking on 1GB RAM


Project is well underway with the goal of hosting my FreeBSD8 host in a VM and keep the storage in ZFS on OpenSolaris.

The host is a bit slow but it's usable with BSD, Ubuntu and OpenSolaris running at the same time.

I give 512meg ram to Ubuntu, 4.5GB ram to OpenSolaris and 1.5GB RAM to FreeBSD8.

More later.

Placed an order with abcwarehouse.com two weeks ago.

Pigs charged me but do not reply to email or ship my hardware.

Avoid.


I hate having to call my credit card company but these tools are incompetent.
