Ken :

    I put in server infrastructure two weeks ago to allow for package
migration and development work. They are in the rack at Blastwave and
you are already a member so .. I can give you access in a flash.  There
is pluto and charon with more on the way .. but for now I can give you
charon in 30 seconds :

# uname -a
SunOS charon 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc
# isainfo -v
64-bit amd64 applications
        sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc
        fpu
32-bit i386 applications
        sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc
        fpu


Yes .. that is Solaris 10 Update 4 there. If we want a Indiana based machine
then that can be arranged also. Oh .. and there is a UltraSparc server also.
