- We are about to launch ourselves into SUN world, probably by buying
- a SparkClassic. Vendors down this part of the world are not great
- on supplying useful info (before or after purchase), so please
- mail me relevant goodies, or point me at faq lists. I would like to
- know about bugs (hardware and software), SunOS/Solaris incompatibilities,
- installation tips, etc.
- Our configuration would probably be:
- SparkClassic
- 19 inch monitor
- 24 MB memory
- 200 MB internal disk
- 1.3 GB scsi disk
- cd-rom drive
-
- I have always been a VAX/VMS person in the past, this will be my first Unix
- box. We will want to hook up to thin ethernet. All the existing Sun's on campus
- run SunOS.
-
- Thanks
- Justin
