I don't have a SPARC but I got the Intel version of Solaris 8. I'm slightly bummed tho. The nei driver for NE2000 cards isn't shipped with Solaris 8. You have to grab the one from Solaris 7 and install it manually. Oh well, I like the functionality of Linux better anyway. Probably because that's where I started learning Unix... Or mabye it's because Solaris took out the virtual console switching in Solaris 8 too.. :-( I wish they would stop taking out features. Did SPARC Solaris 8 loose the virtual console as well?
>Excellent. Good luck on setting up that sparc. Real nerds have Sparcs at home. :))) Have you subscribed to the "Suns at home" list?
