Yes, containers could be an option . I hadn't thought of that before, but thanks everyone for the suggestion. That would solve problem #1.
Problem #2, unfortunately, is tougher to solve. I don't have a sparc of any kind . At least this can be solved by throwing cash at it. The qemu option, unfortunately, didn't pan out. It seems, qemu's support of sparc is very incomplete. It can run up to solaris 6, but after that, you have to substitute "sh" instead of "init" . which doesn't count for me .

In the past, I've solved this by begging local IT depts for their garbage, and build one of these machines. I'd very much like to improve this. Does anybody know of any way to create a sparc solaris 8 machine modern day? Whether virtual or otherwise ... Preferably virtual.
