The host name is 'hurricane', here's the output of `uname -a` SunOS hurricane 5.9 Generic_117171-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
It has 8 GB of RAM and 4 virtual processors (not sure if this translates to 4 physical processors). It's a pretty beefy machine and still pretty new compared to some of the other Sun boxen around here. I don't know if I'll be allowed to install debian on it, but it would be nice to give it a shot considering it's still just a testbed. We'll see....
