What is the latest version of Solaris that will run comfortably on this machine? I have a copy of Solaris 10 but it will not boot (with a DVD reader installed it complains that it hasn't got enough memory). But I read that Solaris 10 on these machines is too slow.
dont know... I have one in my garage ( or 2?) but it has been there for nearly 10 years... I remember seeing one running solaris 7 and at home I have a sunblade with similar speed (I think) running a solaris 8, I remembered trying a solaris 9 but it was starting to be slow... I upgraded my sunblad to 2GB in order to try again but never found the time
For the rest I dont know as you would have to go to the sun free software site to look for what can still be found and install, for C you would have to go for gcc... I am not sure but I think there was a security package for solaris 8 with ssh suite...
