Tadpole Sparcbook 3GX Laptop
I have the opportunity to purchase a Sparcbook 3GX for $800.
I've attatched the specs.
Has anyone used this machine?
Is this a good price? (Seems like it to me.)
How suitable would this machine be for running Debian?
As an aside, what about performance while running Solaris?
Am considering setting it up as a dual-boot.
All comments welcome.
Thanks,
