Well, Sun Blade runs Solaris for Sparc, not Solaris for Intel. $uname -a SunOS neptune 5.8 Generic_108528-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 It's just other components are more PC based, such as Memory etc. And I don't see any problems with PC components, because that's what Sun uses too. We have

I recommend you get it all...   You shouldn't have to have a personal Solaris box just to test work stuff as damagement should give you resources. But if you're looking for career learning and want to gain solaris admin skills then that could be a way to go. But Linux is definitely the futu

Dan:   I am running RedHat 7.3 on a Gateway G6-266 in my home LAN. It connects to the web just fine, and my intent is to make it a lightweight web and DB server.  I am running Oracle 9iR2. It's slow, but it runs.   Cheers, Mike   -Original Message-From: Fink, Dan [mailto:[EMAIL

Hey Dan;   I currently am running a Sun Sparc 20 at home with oracle 8.1.7.4 and am adding 9.0.2.   I got mine off of e-bay as you were talking about.     The Sun software was prety easy to load and configure so far.  I have a DSL setup and its working just fine.  I can even get to the DB

For $500 you can build your own Intel/AMD machine with 1GB of RAM that will blow the doors off the Sun Ultras. You may need to spend a little more if you need some hard drives and a cheap video card. Install Linux, Oracle and enjoy. -- Alan Davey [EMAIL PROTECTED] 212-604-0200 x106 On 1/30
