Re: [Wlug] Sun hardware for sale

by Chuck Anderson

It doesn't seem that you got my response. It is the tower version, not the pizza box: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/Example/component.front_zoom.h… I don't remember if it has an OS on there, but you can download various Linux distros or Sun Solaris for free to install. The 450 is a refrigerator sized box: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/E450/E450.html This is a standalone unit with the side panels and wheels. There is no rack and no rack mount kit with it. It plugs in using a single standard PC-style IEC electrical cord, but has redundant power supplies. You can pick this up during business hours 9am-5pm at the Network Operations Center, WPI Morgan Hall/Lower Wedge, next to the Access Grid where we hold the WLUG meetings. We can only take cash.

Re: [Wlug] Not enough exposure to the Sun

by Mike Leo

Thanks for all the replies...I'll look into the "Red" book. As far as hardware, can those who offered send me a price on what they have? Of course I would like the best of what you have, but nothing terribly expensive. Dual CPU if possible, but not necessary. Do Sun's take standard RAM? I beleive they are mostly SCSI, and if so, what type? UltraSCSI, SCSI 2, etc etc, as I may have drives to use. And video...standard 25pin D SVGA? Ethernet too would be important. Thanks again!

Re: [Wlug] Not enough exposure to the Sun

I have a neighbor that works for Sun. I have some decent stuff. Star Office, Solaris and other stuff.. What kind of stuff are you looking for. If you REALLY want to get into sun stuff, I might be able to get you an spark station.

Not enough exposure to the Sun

by Mike Leo

I was looking to get some exposure to Solaris and Sun "stuff". Anyone have suggestions or any old, but good, Solaris equipment? I know nothing about Sun stuff, but I guess the Sparc line is there desktop/workstation line? Any info is greatly apreciated!
