Keith, I have installed RedHat v6.1 on both an SS20 and an Ultra 2, the Ultra being dual CPU. Both ran fine although the Ultra's disk has since died. No problems encountered though I wasn't really asking much of either. Cheers Julian ---

Hey all, I was just wondering if any of you guys have had any experience in using old sun and HP boxes with Linux. I'm thinking of picking up one to act as a test box to play about with but ultimately maybe using them as samba servers etc? Thanks, Keith. -- "Mayonaise": a Ășnica vez que Billy Co
