If you already have FreeBSD, go ahead and give it a try, I doubt that they will run though. It's my understanding that Sun uses ELF binaries, and while Sparc binaries won't run at all, one could probably hack together a little Sun emulator using bits and pieces of the Linux emulator. Not that OS/2 isn't a worthwhile choice either. > And I know rumours, that OpenBSD can run Sun/i386 binaries... Perhaps you mean OpenBSD/Sparc can run Sun/Sparc binaries? - alex
