Thats good to hear ! [ in order to read this you need to picture a guy wearing a cheap plaid suit, a loud tie complete with coffee stain, a cigarette hanging out one side of my mouth as I talk and greasy hair in a comb over and a really scuzzy french-canadian accent. ] To follow your example I am now going to perform a trick that I suspect no one in their right mind has attempted. A feat of such daring and stupidity that few would even consider it. I, Dennis Clarke, the great and mysterious masked midnight hacker, will dive into a build of OpenSolaris, the very latest rev folks, on a Pentium II old PC from 1998 with a 400MHz processor ( two of them actually ) and five, yes I said five SCSI controllers! Wild and untamed and barely identified! I will post pictures and blog the process but suffice it to say that I want to kill this concept in peoples heads that you have to have super expensive Sun hardware in order to run "expensive and slow" Solaris. *barf* .. *gag* .. And I know the X2100 is like $2K. I am sick to death of hearing someone tell me that they can't run Solaris on their PC hardware because its a Dell or an HP or its this or that or some other lame excuse. I still love the one where some jerk looks at me and says "Solaris doen't run on PC hardware." So to prove the point I am going to grab the lowest oldest filthy piece of hardware and rip it apart, then stuff every part I can find in boxes and bags around me into it, and then build Solaris Nevada on it. I said _build_ there. Not just install. To "install" would be just plain lame. Anybody _can_ do that. But to build on this old junker ! Now that will be fun to watch. Probably like watching paint dry actually .. but .. I do the dumb things so that you don't have to !
