If you like old sun hardware you could pick up an ultra 40 or 20 used.
I put a 3ghz dual core in my ultra 20 and 8 gbs of ram + 4 hard drives.
The 40 has much better options. I also have a 4x2 core (885s I believe)
v40z with 32gb of ram I picked up for 500 dollars a couple years ago.
That is my openindiana sunray server. Follow the instructions on the
sunray users forum and it works great. No kiosks though. Sadly I have
had to retire my old blade1000 due to the same kind of stuff you
mention. I use the ultra 20 as a file server and my desktop. 08:21am

Hi,
I've got a Grandfathers Axe, Ultra 80, 4 CPU, 4GB Ram, 4 x 2.5" SAS
Drives, 2 x 3.5" SCSI, 2x XVR-1000's and dual 24" LCD Monitors. I had
been waiting for Sun to release a new sparc workstation, but it never
happened.
Its a Java dev box, all round work computer (with sunray clients), has
a zone with a web server, online since 2005.
I recently noticed that JDK1.7 isn't supported on my release of
Solaris 10, I'm guessing it isn't on Openindiana either ;), but better
to have community support than nothing at all!
I also participate in the Apache River project, once I replace this
workstation, our software will no longer be tested on Solaris Sparc,
so support for that OS / Hardware combo will be dropped.
What's the best (Rock solid) CPU / Motherboard / ECC Ram / Hardware to
run Openindiana with? Can Openindiana server thin clients eg ltsp?
Where do you order Openindiania DVD's?
Thanks,
Peter.
