debian on sun fire v100
I'm looking for a cheap u1 little server. I don't need a lot a resources, so I don't want to give out a lot of money. The sun fire v100 seems cheaper then other i386 solutions, so I'd like to know how linux runs on it. Does anyone of you use it with debian? pgpfM2LWTN5Av.pgp Description: PGP signature

help for code portability.
Maybe it's a bit off topic, but... I've got a problem with a program I'm developing in c++. It compiles with gcc under linux on sparc but it doesn't compile on solaris on sparc. The code is #define dump(var) monitor._dump(var, __FILE__, __LINE__, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, __STRING(var)) When I try to copile it I've got the following error under solaris: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/nanuccoli-0.3/src/medium$ make c++ -DPACKAGE=\nanuccoli\ -DVERSION=\0.3\ -DHAVE_ARPA_INET_H=1 -DHAVE_NETDB_H=1 -DHAVE_NETINET_IN_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_BZERO=1 -I. -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../low-g -O2 -c parser.cc parser.cc: In method `void Parser::parseHearInfo()': parser.cc:232: warning: implicit declaration of function `int __STRING(...)' parser.cc:232: no matching function for call to `Monitor::_dump (char *, char[10], int, char[201], int)' ../low/monitor.h:85: candidates are: Monitor::_dumpchar *(char *, const char *, int, const char *, const char *) *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `parser.o' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/nanuccoli-0.3/src/medium$ Why doesn't it find __STRING(...) ?

I'd be interested to hear why you think it's no good - is that based on personal experience? I have to say that on my worksation I use exim. But on bigger mailserver I prefer running postfix because I've found a imho better documentation. It has been easier for me to set it up. I think that postfix's configuration files are really easy to understand and debian's script for configuring it is a good point to start from. That's why I've chosen postfix.

Weird working of X
I'm using windowmaker on my ss10 with a cg6 framebuffer. I've noted a strange behaviour of X.

Modem isdn
Hi! I got a sparcstation 10. On the rear side there are two connectors of a isdn modem. They told me that on many SS10 there isn't the isdn modem even it the connectors are present.Is it true? I've tried to see in /proc if I can find some informations about the modem (something like cat /proc/pci on i386) but I cannot find anything. Is there a possibility of knowing if the modem is present without opening it? I haven't opened it because I don't know what I've go to do to open it and I'm afraid of damaging it. Another thing: I've heard that american and europian modem are different and that if there's an american modem I cannot use it. Is it true?
