Yes, that is true. But given disk's role as a central server, I do not believe William wants to make that publicly available for development. But you would have to check that with William. I could create a zone on 'disk' which would provide security, and let people only use the zone. Again that would be up to William. He would need to get me another static IP address. > >> 2) You can install it in VirtualBox. > > That is possible.

Yes, 1 GB is not going to give you room to run many virtual machines. In fact, I'm not sure OpenSolaris would be able to installed in 250 MB of RAM. My Ultra 27 has 12 GB RAM and 1.3 TB of disk space free. on the users file system (there are a pair of 2 TB mirrored disks, plus another pair of 500 GB mirrored disks for the system). So you wont run out of resources too quickly. >> 3) I would personally give you an account on my Ultra 27, which is >> pretty quick, with a quad core 3.33 GHz Xeon. > > That would be kind of you. No problem. I will do it in a few hours time, but can't do it just now. If you still have the email I sent you with the HP-UX account details, I will use the same password. If you have deleted it, let me know and I'll send you the password in an email. It has SSH server, but the port is non-standard. I can't recall what port you will need to use, but it will not be 22. I'll sort out the details in a few hours time.
