I already did offer a bunch of SPARC hardware, wired up, installed and ready to go, at no charge, but no maintainers stepped up to the plate, so I'm kind of skeptical there's interest in this direction. I could be wrong and perhaps I just didn't reach the right people, but my effort was made public on the mailing lists and in my experience, the response was almost completely silence (one brave soul did ask for a root account on these machines and I sent it to him, but he never used it). -- Saso _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
