Are those sparc or ultrasparc stations? If they are the prior, they are a bit slow to function as graphical terminal servers. They make nice bridges or routers if there are space SBUS NICs. Using them as clients to setup a Solaris JumpStart lab would be another use. As a metric, it took me about 20 minutes to generate the DSA host key after a fresh installation of OpenBSD on a sparc2. > We have nearly 30 power pcs that may or may not be usable, but, > it sure would be nice to do something with them. They would make decent low end web servers. The best part about this platform is that it would take a lot for a script kiddie to find a working exploit. I had the most luck with Debian in the past. -Vince
