Um, Solaris is free for <8 CPU machines. At least that's what they told us. U10s are pretty cheap and you can use an old 20G IDE drive in it.

For *really fast* stuff you can try NetBSD.

ciao!

Yeah, but the licence is not free, unless you've bought the machine from
Sun or an authorised dealer:

Of course, one can always choose to run Solaris illegally without a
licence.
