Re: SOHO SUN Server - I'm giving up

Yes I remember the old days of linux, days spent search for hardware
that just might work.

I never had an issue with the sparc kit I used, but mind you I can
read. I have installed may 3rd party hdd into ultra 5/10 but you got
to remember you got the same issues as Macs, your using openprom not
bios

I tried to setup a small office server that controlls an automated

as subversion server and as the staging server for the main website.

Everything is so complicated on SUN hardware. I purchased a Ultra 10
put it 10 GB but was not able to add a hardware IDE RAID or control the
power supply (programmed switch on/off).

Not sure whats up with the power switch, I know the one on the front is
a soft switch, but theres a real power switch on the back or did the
stick not find that?


I'm now moving to a 733 Mhz PIII with 512 MB running Linux and Hardware
RAID 1 for the main 80 GB and 2 external Firewire Backup Disk. I spend
to much time trying to setup the Sparc System, and it seems to have no
value for such a small low traffic system.

I guess you used linux before, I hear this all the time but with
Windows.
i.e "god is't linux crap I spent days trying to get this to work but
none of the raid hardware work so it back to windows"


So it seems pretty clear to me why SUN is lossing ground in the
small/mid server range. It simply makes no sense to purchase this.

Thats because an ultra 10 is a 6 year old WORKSTATION not a small/mid
server.
