Hello, And thank you for an awsome product... I am a novice, (just starting out in the linux/unix/bsd world), been a windows server guy and 3d modeler/animator, graphic artist for the last 20 years.I was always afraid of unix, until recently, I purchased two sun netra x1's, a V100, & a V20z from ebay cheap with the hopes of learing this new world (for me anyway's) and setting up a inexpensive render farm. Being completely new to UNIX, I have learned LOM on these systems, and have successfully installed openBSD on these systems with little trouble. I of course did my homework on google, and there is a great deal of information on what to do. Trial and error, but I have learned so much in the last couple of weeks. I can remote into these systems with puTTY now that the network is setup. I would like to add, this was the only OS that installed on my SPARC IIe systems without any issues! I tried netBSD, freeBSD, and some other crap, and all error out before install starts. Solaris 11 Express installed fine, (for me a major learning curve) but I learned from google forums. Unfortunatley, solaris 11 finale release does not run on older architectures, and was removed. But I found you guys! I just want to express my grattitude for all of your efforts, and when I can afford it, I will make some donations to help, (only working part time at the moment) I am really excited to have accesss to all of the low cost older servers and be able to implement them into a working secure environment! I love it!!! Thanks again for all of your hard work, I am sold, and will continue to learn this, I am not affraid of Unix anymore! Michael J.
