I show 0.18.4, you may want to shift+reload. :-)

I agree with all of this.

For me, I think the best "I want the SPARC experience with minimum fuss" boxes are the SS 5/20 (which are very similar machines, the SS20 is sort of a multiprocessor SS5) or the Ultra 1/2 desktop workstations. All of those are SBUS machines (there are PCI machines with the Ultra 2 CPU and chipset, too, I think, but they're not just called "Ultra 2"?).

I also think of Solaris 7 as peak Solaris, I don't think you're alone there @PAPPP@lemmy.sdf.org . If you want something past Solaris 7, just go with OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana/etc. and do "new Solaris" whole hog.

It is, but it was reset (again) relatively recently. You may need to contact membership@ to get access.
