Hi I have potato running on a production server, easy as any pc to install, make yourself familiar with the sun open boot prom at http://sunsolve.sun.com and look in the etc Feature archive for the item Hardware Diagnostics for SunTM Systems: A Toolkit for System Administrators
Woody is snap to install, there is a problem with early versions of potato with sun mouse configs, but either will run happily on a 5 or a 10 (have installed on both). You might like to customise your kernel, if you are that way inclined, the kernel images supplied are fine, just read carefully about the type. Have a look at http://ultralinux.org in ther faq, it is a little dated but relevant. they are happy little items all on their own :) cheers david On Tue, 2002-08-20 at 16:01, Kevin J.
