- I use solaris 2 system (sparc based) from normal ascii-terminal every day
- and at least I have no complaints about programs being graphics only
- (well, one thing that could also be text based is admintool - but I don't
- use that much anyway..). Solaris has normal SVR4 text-based commands.

- ps. remember that solaris 2 is also designed to work on servers
- (like sun 4/6xx series).
