2012-07-29 Thread Jim Klimov
Hello all, There are some discussions about whether illumos on SPARC is a dead-end or not (i.e. whether it is stupid to buy HW systems from the one vendor and not buy their software support, or if there is more than one vendor, or if anyone would pick up the open-sourced processor designs for t
