For another data point, I have 122 packages on my Ultra 5. these including Apache running HTML::Mason (and the many perl modules it requires), database clients, Mailman (which requires Python) and Postfix. It's running in a visible and somewhat serious environment as the public web server for a local user group/professional association. Other than how long it took to rebuild all the ports (Sparcs suck for that *grin*), the transition was super smooth and everything is working fine afterwards. -T -- "Laughter is the sound that knowledge makes when it's born." - David Weinberger, _The Hyperlinked Organization_
