I agree, you need at Ultra 5 or 10 (or something newer) to run Solaris 9 acceptably. Don't waste your time with an old sparcstation. Plus, the Ultra 5 or 10 will work with your vga monitor instead of needing special adapters, uses IDE hard drives instead of SCSI, and so on. It is much easier to work with in other words.

BUT, if your main objective is just to learn Unix have you considered running Solaris 9 X86 version on an old PC. That way you might not even need to buy hardware. Just check the hardware support lists on Sun's website to make sure what you have will work if you decide to go that route.
