Hmm. Its not my machine, so I'm not in a position to upgrade
it, but thanks for the info.

I may be wrong, but its my understanding that sparc64 is not
officially supported in 3.0. The files are there but I've

That would be excellent. There's just enough lag to the box
I work on now to be highly annoying (almost the entire port was
written over ssh).
There are quite a few ultra 10s available locally on ebay which
I've been looking at, I just haven't been at my current job long
enough to save up.

That would also be excellent. I wouldn't want to try to ship one
to Canada from the US :).
