Re: Debian on Sun box any advantage?
I suppose it depends on what the server's intended purpose
is and where you plan to install it.
Where I work it's a decision of both software (Debian vs.
Solaris) and hardware (Sparc vs. x86).We have all four
combinations being used for various purposes.
Most of our Sparc Debian boxes are Sunfire V100s transplanted
into Netra X1 chassis. They're inexpensive, can easily be
front mounted into two-post relay racks, and don't generate
much heat. Great way stuff a linux box into a cramped phone
closet.

Hello Everyone,
I don't know much about Sun boxes. What advantage, if any, is there to
running Debian on a Sun box as opposed to a brand name x86 server?
