Re: Sun Fire V210 NIC's don't work

Right, no problems except for this:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/solaris-cluster-express-license-167852.html

That's right, the EULA. You probably haven't read it, but I have, and in particular, this clause is more problematic than the GPL, FSF, or BSD license ever will be:

"Except for any included software package or file that is licensed to you by Oracle under different license terms, we grant you a perpetual (unless terminated as provided in this agreement), nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited License to use the Programs only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your applications, and not for any other purpose."

So in other words, useless for hosting your home website, useless for running any kind of in-house service, and prohibited from doing any real work. Please, continue about how Solaris 10 empowers this machine to be useful.

No Linux, no FSF, no problem!
