Re: [Nolug] need RAM for a SPARCstation 5

Solaris 10 is still a free beer download here:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp

For either Sparc, or x86/x86_64. Your Ultra 60 would probably run Solaris
10 fine, once installed (how much memory?).

For those wanting to learn Solaris, you could install it on a fast x86 box
and suffer from poor x86 hardware support, or install it on a slow Sparc
box and suffer from really slow CPU -- choose your poison.
