We use a Solaris Ultra 10 as both a server and a workstation. As a server, we run qmail and Apache+IBM WebSphere for development and testing. As a workstation, we have one or two people who constantly do Java development and want a reference build of Java to work off of. I'd personally take the money it costs for an Ultra 10 and build a nice x86 (or even an Alpha) workstation. Anywho... you can get a PCi card for the Ultra 5 (and I think the Ultra 10) that allows you to run Windows on your SPARC machine :-) It's slow as heck, that's for sure! // Linh Pham // http://closedsrc.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
