" From: Cody Swanson <[email protected]> " " I have been given a fully loaded sparcstation 2 with solaris 2.5 on it " and I was pondering what OS I should put on it. I was thinking about " going with linux but most linux distros have dropped support for the " sun4c platform some time ago. Solaris 7 is a little too old to be useful " and solaris 8 would likely be too slow. I could install openbsd on it, " that might be my only choice for a modern OS at this point. Any ideas? my system here until only a few years ago was a sparc2. adding to what others said, solaris 8 will not run on sun4c; i'm not sure about 7. i last ran 2.6 and was pretty happy. i agree that if you abandon solaris, *bsd would be the way to go. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen [email protected] and think what none thought
