I've just set this Sage 4.2.1 server up.

It's on my home computer, on a slow network, so performance wont be great. The 
machine is also 8 years old, so don't expect miracles from it!

It is running on Solaris 10 update 7, in a zone, so nobody can't bring down my 
system, even if someone manages to hack it and get root access.

(Zones are quite different to VirtualBox. They run the same operating system, 
as 
the host, and share many files. But their overhead is very small. About 40 MB 
RAM and even dozens of zones will use < 1% CPU time on a fast machine. 
VirtualBox does not support the SPARC processor, whereas Zones run on SPARC 
too).


I've limited this zone to one 1200 MHz CPU, 6 GB RAM and 4 GB swap.

I'd just be interested if it functional.

My hope is to build Sage on 't2' soon and put that in a zone.

needs resolving before we can really say we have a useful Solaris port, but I 
believe we are very close.
