Hi guys,
Cleaning out my shed, came across an old server I played with (SunFire
T1000) and just thought that it might come in handy for showing how
linux works on non-intel based exotic architecture.
The server is quite simple: 4G ram, 1Cpu-24 cores, 120G HDD and 4
gigabit ports. Note that there are no display adapter ports or
keyboard/mouse ports. No USB, no nothing :)

Currently it runs Linux 3.2.0-4-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 sparc64
If it's not suitable for the HW library, then it's free to go to a good
home.
***the nasty fine-print with asterisks***: it's very loud 1RU fans
speeding at max rpms
Cheers,
Cristian
