That was not a thought provoked from my wants or needs, I was making a feeble attempt of placing myself in SUN's shoes and figuring how I would attempt to keep some income coming in from a (example) client like Kaiser, who may or may not have a few million dollars worth of Sparc hardware, support contracts etc. If they concede to just letting it all go, well then that's the end of their presence both physically and financally in the Kaiser "space." Ironically I just bought a new Ultra-10 for $322 (headless) from http://www.solarsystems.com and put Linux on it, then dual booted it, then just dedicated the whole box to just Solaris and took it home from work after fiddling with it and I'm typing this email from home on it just for the experience. I anticipate alot of sparc hardware out there is not going to be tossed and I needed some exposure to it. I try and keep Unix centered during this whole period and run FreeBSD and Solaris at work with of course Linux and run the same suspects at home, one never knows what forward slash env you'll be tossed into. Take care. __ |<-----------------------|_72_Characters_Wide_|----------------------->| Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com
