new SPARCstation 10
i have finally received the SPARCstation 10 that the Vice President of
Marketing for the Concorde Group, a Sun OEM reseller, has loaned
to Debian. once we attain non-profit status it may/will become a donation.
hopefully we can establish a partnership with Concorde Group as they are
interested in integrating Linux into their product line. it would be
nice if the Linux they chose to integrate was Debian. but that's another
story :P
Nils is still working on the press release regarding this loan / donation.
i completed the base install yesterday.
perhaps this is a good time to use it to sort out some of the glibc2.1
issues, Ben. post me or catch me on #debian-devel.
for the record, here is the spec on the machine:
128MB
S10 motherboard
S10 chassis
GFX-GX color frame buffer
100mhz processor
2 1.2 GB disks
floppy
Sun type 5c keyboard and Compact 1 mouse
19" color monitor
while it could have been faster, this is nonetheless a Nice system.
i May be able to get my firm to loan a 9gb disk for this system.
it is still on my internal network and for whatever reason
it can't seem to boot from the hard disk and i have not had time
today to sort that out.
i used the 2.1.8.1-1999-03-01 boot disks for the install.
regards,
muggles
