[Asterisk-Users] free sun boxes

[RandyW]

Greetings All,

The Ultra 5 will take Solaris 10 no problem, however RAM will be an 
issue.  Be sure that there is at least 128MB of RAM on these units or 
Solaris 10 will tend to "chug".  The SparcStation, from everything I've 
read, is not supported under Solaris 10.  You can, however, get older 
versions of Solaris on it (7,8).

Other than that the Ultra 5 was really the last desktop workstation that 
Sun produced that was truly "workstation" class.  While they are 
returning to that with their new Opteron boxes, but the SunBlade series 
was a true embarrassment.  In 5 years, I've lost a lot more Sunblade 
100/150 boxes to lame stuff like motherboard failures than I've ever 
lost Ultra's.

You should be working on your Ultra 5 for years to come.
