I have a E450 which came with Solaris 2.6 and is running now Solaris
10. But the OS runs to slow for a so big system (4x400Sparc + 4G).

The E450 is a noisy machine that uses a lot of current. I for one would
not want to have one at home, so it might well be that not too much
work has been done trying to get Linux to run on this hardware.


I would in any case be amazed if Linux would turn out to be
significantly faster than Solaris 10.


I tried to run an Apache 2 with MySQL and PHP and it takes over 25 sec
to fetch a simple PHP page which takes its menu from a database.

I used the ibib and also the sunfreeware suite to get this application
because the two servers which came with sol10 are not supporting PHP.
And that is the main problem after the slowness. I'm able to handle
Linux much better than Solaris.

I can configure, compile and install all the wanted packages and so I
will get an optimal system which could be completely customize and
maintained by me. On Solaris I have to take the precompiled packages
and so I have the same software on several directories
/usr/sfw , /opt/sfw, /usr/local and so on. After a short time I lost
the overview and had to reinstall my system from the begin on new.

And about the inet/init replacement on sol10 I will get a crises.

If it would work more powerfully then it may make Sinn to learn al this
Solaris specials, but so I will not spend my time on a system which
takes a lot of electrically energy to produce only wind, warmth and
noises.
