Man I would LOVE to find a good sun box. Nothing huge, just a box I can use= to=20 toy with Solaris and oldschool stuff like early SunOS.

Just want at least one UNIX box in the=20 house. > > Well.. Sun at some point took 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 into the Solaris naming > scheme. Just confusing to a lot of people.
