I run Red Hat 6.2 with all patches on several Sun SparcStation 5's, ranging from 70MHz to 110MHz and all with only 32MB of RAM and 1GB of disk. Each one is a DNS server, mail server, and central logging station for a small network (10-20 users), and they cost me less than $100 each. The machines are *remarkably* stable, and run well for long periods of time. >on the other hand, I've been told those machines compare to Pentium 75 or 90 Maybe... I'd be careful comparing processor speeds for different architectures. >so the question is : is it worst installing linux on them, as servers ? as >workstations ? as enhanced X terminals ? Try it and see. I used one as a normal workstation for a few days, with KDE; seemed to work fine. But as tiny servers, I love them. -- Rodolfo J.
