Free to a good home (or, party like it's 1995)

Free to a good home (ie. anyone willing to pick this junk up from my
apartment near the stadium):

- Sun Ultra 1 workstation, single 166MHz 64bit SPARC

- Sun SPARCStation 20, dual-CPU 75MHz 32bit SPARC

Both machines should boot up into Debian pre-Sarge with 2.6 Linux
kernel (yes, that means you won't need to figure out how to
net-install using TFTP, RARP and the guts of OpenFirmware!), have a
few hundred MB RAM, a few spare hard disks, and framebuffer cards.
Both should be in perfect working order. They do NOT come with a Sun
monitor, but I will give you a null modem cable for serial terminal
(and you can of course SSH into them). The SS20 was my
CVS/SVN/mail/web server for several years, and while these guys are a
bit old, they'll outperform an x86 at twice the clock speed
(yee-haw!). If nothing else, you can use them for a cross-compilation
farm and heat your entire apartment with them.

Contact me OFF LIST if  you would like to adopt either or both of
these highly-desirable boat-anchors. Note that I won't offer any
technical support on these machines, I'm getting rid of them because I
don't have time for it myself.
