I don't know how similar the Ultra20 and X2100 are, but here's dmesg

This is completely off-topic, but how do you like the Ultra 20 overall? 
I need a new workstation for home, and I'm trying to decide between 
doing the Ultra 20 @ $360/year or building an Athlon64 X2. I'm leaning 
towards the latter because I know I'll be doing some upgrades right off 
the bat should I go with an Ultra 20, and I'll end up with significantly 
more machine, but there's just something about having a Sun logo that 
makes the decision a touch more difficult :) Anyway, I'd be interested 
to hear your thoughts.
