[OpenIndiana-discuss] Suitable Dev box to replace Ultra 80

[Peter Firmstone]

Hi,

I've got a Grandfathers Axe, Ultra 80, 4 CPU, 4GB Ram, 4 x 2.5" SAS 
Drives, 2 x 3.5" SCSI, 2x XVR-1000's and dual 24" LCD Monitors.  I had 
been waiting for Sun to release a new sparc workstation, but it never 
happened.

Its a Java dev box, all round work computer (with sunray clients), has a 
zone with a web server, online since 2005.

I recently noticed that JDK1.7 isn't supported on my release of Solaris 
10, I'm guessing it isn't on Openindiana either ;), but better to have 
community support than nothing at all!

I also participate in the Apache River project, once I replace this 
workstation, our software will no longer be tested on Solaris Sparc, so 
support for that OS / Hardware combo will be dropped.

What's the best (Rock solid) CPU / Motherboard / ECC Ram / Hardware to 
run Openindiana with?  Can Openindiana server thin clients eg ltsp?

Where do you order Openindiania DVD's?

Thanks,

Peter.
