I wonder about something: While I love Aurora and run it myself, I'm
curious as to why anyone would do this right now... Isn't Solaris on
this configuration still the better choice? From all that I read,
Linux still doesn't seem to be the first choice when it comes to
multi-CPU machines, especially not on Sparc. As I'm no expert on this,
I'd sure like to know more about the topic from someone who is...
Cheerio,
Thomas
