[desktop-discuss] Fwd: [ug-nycosug] What is the suggested system specs for building OpenSolaris?

[Artem Kachitchkine]

Well let's see. 8 GB for the SUNWCall metacluster, 4GB for ON nightly, X 
GB for Sun Studio Y... OK, that'll be a gazillion gigabytes. Seriously, 
an "ultimate Solaris box" is not that different from any other OS's 
ultimate box. Get the best of everything.
