On another note, I'm a software developer (Java,

I have an old SparcStation IPX that I've upgraded a bit (52MB of RAM,
cost me $5; 2.1GB HDD, free). I need some suggestions as to what flavor
of UNIX to run on it. Linux seems a bit sluggish on it (it came to me
with RH 5.2 on it, not to mention RPM hell...), and NetBSD seems to have
trouble
Aloha,
OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/) is great on old sun hardware. Solaris is
real slow on an IPX and old versions of Solaris don't come with all the
great tools we are used to with Linux. If you were in Hawaii I could let
you borrow Solaris (2.5.1, 2.6, or 2.7, I don't think 2.8 dropped

Solaris 8 is the standard for Solaris. There are a lot of places that
still run 2.6 and 2.7 (Solaris 8 is the equiv of 2.8). Solaris 9 just came
out and people don't move to the next release of Solaris like we do Linux.
Sandi has been doing new installs of systems that require Solaris 2.6.
JUST DO IT!
Install every operating system you can get your hands on, on any old
hardware you can find, late at night after your wife and kids go to sleep.
You know you are really into it when you realize it is 4:30am and you are
still playing.

Aloha,
FreeBSD doesn't support 32-bit sparc hardware (i.e. sun4c and sun4m) they
have a beta release that support 64-bit sparc architecture (sun4u).
NetBSD runs on everything (think I could install NetBSD in my toaster) and
OpenBSD supports sun4c, sun4m, and sun4u.
The IPX is a sun4c
This could be a very cool thing, depending on what you need and want in

The question is, do you have the monitors? If not, it's probably not
worth buying convertors to run them on PC monitors (if you can find one
that can sync that high!). Also, those are pretty old sparcs, but as X
terminals they MIGHT do. Check the graphics boards in them, most of
them back
YES!
The big question is goig to be the graphics card. Most old sparcs came
with an 8 bit color. X will work just fine, but the active window will use
all of the colors and everything else will have crazy colors.
LTSP has a beta version for sun hardware and there is also the SLXT project
