Re: teething probs with Sun Ultra 10 & Solaris 10

Please ! the U10 is Five generations of hardware back in time.
each representing 18-24 months

Present - > -> Past

Ultra 25 , SB 1500 , SB1000 , Ultra30 , Ultra10


Well because everything after the U10 is fucking expensive (B1000 is
getting acceptable now). And Sun Hardware sucks because it is simply
not upgradeable. So why do you not understand that people want to work
with an U10 ?

And Linux and Windows supports old hardware very well. Pretty simple to
add a new NVidia to a 1998 machine, or a 800 GB IDE harddrive to an
secondary PCI controller.

On Solaris Sparc => forget it. It sucks.

And to be honest you are counting generations wrong. Just because a
Blade 1500 is 10% faster then a Blade 1000 this is not a generation.
This is a new product thats all. Generations in the Sun Universe take a
lot longer. Even now the CPU is speed is fuckint 1,4 Ghz - single core
- ROTFLMAO.
