[rescue] Sun T2000 information

[Ken Link]

Yes, you can install and run other operating systems directly on the
hardware. Modern Linux kernels are supported, and I'm pretty sure NetBSD
and OpenBSD are also supported, though I don't have personal experience
with those. I believe OpenBSD even natively supports LDOMs (VMs) the same
way Solaris does, so performance should be nearly identical.

By the way, if you find a way to tame the fans so they aren't screaming
loud, please post back here with information! I know the ALOM shows a min
and max fan speed but I haven't yet found a way to lower mine from the
stock 8000 rpm speed they run at, even when temperatures are well within
acceptable range...
