It's not the most up to date, but it's certainly the most reliable and almost most compatible system I've had for a few years. For Solaris/OpenSolaris, it works like a dream :-)
You can stock them with 8GB ram, and can probably get away with using 1tb disks on them, even though Sun says 500GB, which is what I have in addition to the standard 250gb that comes with the large configuration. Anyways, all-around, I've became hard pressed to find something comparable in spec that isn't Dell or something you probably shouldn't trust. I honestly trust this machine, I've always liked Sun's hardware for the most part. James _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
