Hi guys,
I´ve just bought a Sun Ultra 10, and I´m still waiting to it arrive
through mail, so I was wondering wich version of solaris will run
better on this old hardware. I would like to use solaris 10, but I don
´t know if with this version, the old hardware will get too slow. So
guys, which version do you would use? The older solaris version still
have security patches?
My ultra specs:
- 440MHz
- 512MB RAM
- 9 GB IDE (I have another two 40GB IDE harddrives)
Thanks in advance,
Leonardo Marques.
Any Solaris will work, S10 or Solaris Express(S11) and why not
OpenSolaris but graphics is what will be heavy!

So don't expect it to shine as a workstation using Gnome!

It *might* work very well with graphics *IF* it has one of the
Sun graphics cards, such as the Sun Creator 3D or 3D Elite.

I have yet to acquire one, so I can't speak from experience.
I would get a XVR-100 instead(check ebay), with a "normal" DSUB15 and if I am not wrong the XVR-100 is the latest supported for the PCI bus.

BTW, try the opensolaris forum for latest info
