John,
I don't know about "dead". I know that Jeff was asking for a
Solaris machine to test and compile one a few days ago. The problem
just might be that there aren't a lot of Solaris machines to go
around. There is some chance that my office might get a Sun Blade
soon, but "soon" is open to interpretation.
It kind of makes me wish Netatalk had a rich benefactor.
Something tells me Scott McNealy isn't going to hand us an Ultra 5 .
Of course, I'd *like* to be wrong on this one.
Maybe writing Sun and asking politely wouldn't be a bad idea?
Heck, maybe there is someone over at Sun who would be more then happy
to pitch in, even if it were just testing code in a lab after hours.
Does anyone know anyone at Sun, or an admin at a university
that uses Sun Solaris?
