Well, my use would be kernel development since this box is "free"

Ultra1, no, Sun had to make some decisions on what hardware they would support
and it was determined that the Ultra1/2 were too old to continue support for.
This is *very* bitter given the fact that we still have over 90
Ultra1/Ultra2 in the cellar.
The Ultra5 will run it fine though.
I would never argue against a faster system.
Or a system which does not cost lots of money (Ultra 5 from EBay+new
card disk = ~~300Euro :-( ).
Why not try x86 hardware?
