True enough.  Octanes are awfully cheap, though.

To each, their own.  I wasn't a hardcore Solaris fan until SunOS 5.7, and
5.9 is just Great.

TurboSPARC?  Lucky you!

I'm running squid, postfix, bind 9, and sshd on a SPARCclassic running
OpenBSD (possibly switching back to NetBSD for PCMCIA support).  If that
SPARCstation 5 has problems with just postfix under Linux, you must be
using the wrong OS. :)
