Until it died recently I had a Sun Blade 100, circa late 2001 era, 500mhz Sparc IIe with 2 GB of ram, (2) 15 GB HD's, and the stock peripherals, including monitor, which I still use on Intel...

Why not install virtualbox, then do a FreeBSD virtual machine, or a PCBSD virtual machine?
Then you essentially have it all.

Obviously the B3 operating system is better.
What is it?

Hmmm adduser

Not sure the file name in /etc,
But you need to edit a file similar
To name defaultrouter, with one line
For IP of router.

In another file you need to edit the
Box IP Address.

I would use SAS!!!!!! Who comes up with these types of problems??

Ubuntu allows a new user to get up faster, but openSUSE
Is a much more flexible version.

I guess you parse output of u name -m

The problem seems to be in the /usr/local/bin/thunar-settings config file. If I delete this file, then thunar will work for me when I use xfce, BUT, still crashes occasionally. The interesting fact...

A friend of mine who works as a C++
Programmer at the NYSE, told me they dumped
All the Sun boxes in favor of Red Hat
On Intel. In NYC, it's a Linux world now.
I'm sure some still use Solaris,...

Thunar works when I run the amd64 version of OpenBSD with xfce, but when I run my Sparc box, an old Blade 100, then Thunar no longer works properly. It's probably an OpenBSD issue, guess I will live...

I use XFCE 4.10 on OpenBSD 5.3; The use of Thunar produces a core dump, if I am logged in as a user, but if I log in as root, it works fine. Obviously it is a permissions issue, but what permission...

I would use OpenBSD - the ports system is easier to use and the amd64 version is really quite good. But I also like the FreeBSD community - so if you want to experiment, try FreeBSD as well.

Thanks for the advice; I was able to send mail from my OpenBSD VM on my laptop; will enable on my Sparc when I get back to town after the weekend.
For me, the thread is closed!

I used to use x86 Linux clients for this years ago, but ceased all activity until last night. I have resurrected an old Sun Blade 100, which used to run Solaris 9, when I first owned it, in the...

Usually dynamic IP rarely change. When it does, simply tell your domain provider your new IP.

I have a basic OpenBSD 5.3 system installed as 64 bit on an old Sun Blade 100. Yes, it does work fine! It has XFCE, R, Firefox 3.6, nano installed. I have to say that 5.3 is much better than 5.0...

Thanks very much for your help! I will investigate this further and I will try out the opensolaris build you referenced.

For the past ten years I have owned a blade 100, and I had Solaris 9 running on it.
Due to the fact, 9 is woefully out of date, I wanted to try 10, but 10 needed more ram, so I beefed up the ram to...
