Only under Solaris. With Linux or BSD on it it ran pretty well. I had a Sparc 20 running RH 7.2 back in the day (or whatever the last version of RH that ran on sparc was) that spanked an Ultra-2 running slowalrus with twice the memory and hard drives handily. Solaris has gotten much better since then, I'm sure. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
