I have always wanted to
know what is so special about SPARC hardware that
some people still prefer it over x86.
Unless you're really jiggy and down with the UltraSPARC processor, and know
how to squeeze that extra performance out of an UltraSPARC based CPU, nothing
really.

I have been running various Linux Distros, Apple OS X and Windows Vista. Tried
to get a few versions of opensolaris running on a few machines and couple of
different drives, but to no avail. Even the little BeLenux disk didn't work.
But finally, I got the Indiana pre-release Live CD to work.

It *is* your affair. You do work for Sun right ? If you do then you *must*
always be focused on doing good business first. And by any meaning ful
definition a good business is one with a good cashflow.

Yep.
They all have drivers except for the sound. The pcn driver is a piece of
trash and it has *always* been a trashy piece of code. So no one can tell

1. What added overhead if any, is there to the new zfs code with sharesmb?
