unix, 3rd screen and media noise

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 am persistent and stupid
