Speaking of which, when did Sun officially stop selling 4.1.4?  I remember it
still being orderable as of '96 or so... 

The only sucky thing about 4.1.x was the amount of work required to get
it fairly secure out of the box, along with the broken name service
resolution (although "enabling" DNS was easy enough..)

I never ran it on anything faster than a Classic; maybe I should pick up 
a dual/quad-CPU ss10/20 and give it another shot.

Also, anybody know if there ever actually was a 4.1.4 for the UltraSPARC?
I kept hearing rumors that Sun did an internal "port" to satisfy a VERY LARGE
(tm) customer that didnt want to switch to Solaris, but never offically
released it because they didnt want to cripple SunOS 5.x sales.
