You can get used SPARCs at unbelievably low prices - maybe they'll even pay you to take them away :-). And since Sun IMO was always ahead of the technology curve, an older SPARC might have features even relatively new PCs might not. And what's really cool is that with the exception of certain ancient frame buffers, you know the hardware will be supported. Well, until very recently, that is :-(.
Does anybody have any idea about some server to have access to?
Sorry, not full time. I guess Sun's test farm isn't available unless you work for Oracle. Wouldn't it be nice if one of the cloud vendors set up a SPARC based cloud? Now there's an interesting business idea... Cheers -- Frank _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.illumos.org/m/listinfo/discuss
