how to start with netra T1



Hi everybody!
In order to make some practice with Solaris and the SPARC world, I
bought on e-bay an old Sun Netra T1 with a Sparc IIe processor at
440mhz and 2 scsi hard disks.

I would like to install Solaris and PostgreSQL. For now I am not
interested in any other sevice.

Then I would like to mirror the 2 hard disks, maybe using the new
Solaris File system.

I come from Linux and I don't know anything about Solaris.

First question: which version should I pick? Solaris 10? Open Solaris?
Solaris Express Community or what?

Second question: can I install it without a monitor and a keyboard?

Third question: how can I mirror the disks?

Last but not the least: how can I control the start / stop service
list?

Thank you
Paolo
