Re: [PLUG] Buying a Sparc
|
My boss just got me a sparc from
"anysystem.com" to serve as a test box.
http://www.anysystem.com/sunul1170170.html
"Ugly Duckling Ultra 1 170E" - $195.00
is the one we got. I've installed solaris 8 on it, as well
as iplanet slapd, and it's no speed demon, but it's no slug either.

(Do you really want to quit now?)
NOTE: While signatures are arguably a blemish, they are a well-understood
convention, and conveying the same information in headers exposes it to
mangling and makes it rather less conspicuous....
