    I can buy a cheap Ultra Sparc 5 at Ebay. Should I do that? I need to learn Solaris. This machine has 333MHz, 256kB of RAM and 4,1GB hd. 190$, what do you say? too much?

      Not a bad deal really. I'm sure you meant 265 megs, not kb. But anyways. Make sure it comes with a keyboard and mouse.

      Solaris is good, definitely spend some time learning it, as the only real system administration jobs involve Solaris. Windows is for Solitare and Linux is for teh ghey.

    I recently spent 3.5 weeks in Perth visiting a friend and having a good time. Seeing the pictures just reminded me how much I wanted to stay.

    I know this is off-topic and all, I just wanted to vent. Allow me that.
