Operating Systems Solaris Question on selling/unloading Sunfire V240 Post 302981820 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 20th of September 2016 04:27:52 AM

If you can get the OS installed, then you can demonstrate it as a working server to any potential buyer, which is far better than saying "I have this pile of old stuff I haven't switched on for ages."

Would you buy a car without hearing the engine start?

It will also help you prove that it was in working order if there are any complaints later on.



Kind regards,
Robin
