Hehehehe- I'm not a fan of the way sun has handled IDE- IDE is bad enough without having the machine freeze while disk gets accessed. So, yeah- it's annoying that sun didn't do ide "right". I have to say that- for a workstation with a lot of stuff on nfs, the u10 does outperform the u1/170/e. I will also not that my mailserver is an ultra1, not an ultra10. One size never fits all, which is the biggest mistake- IMO- of the linux movment.
