hello all this is a little bit off topic i think. i am using apache tomcat for a while on linux and i have only experience with intel machines ! new to me: i am the owner of an old sparc 20 256 mb mem and now there is a change to upgrade the sparc to "quad(4) ross hypersparcs 200mhz 512kb cache. upgrade costs at about 1500$. my questions: 1. does someone know the performance of this configuration as a web server ? 2. is the upgrade worth the money ? or should i buy a new intel box for the 1500$ ? 3. is the java port from "blackdown" for sparc linux ok ? or should i use solaris with the sun's java. 4. are there any problems with apache tomcat on sparc linux ? thank's in advance lothar sorry if it's to off topic but i don't know whom i should ask otherwise.
