Also, the CPU limit is now <2 CPUs. It used to be more (there *was* a time when the licence for Solaris 8 *was* free of cost for home users <= 2 CPUs, but that's at least 2 years ago - and is the reason why I do have one U10 with Solaris), but these days, you even have to buy a license for a SparcStation 10, theoretically...

Darn good reason to go to NetBSD! If you take Dan Greer's (sp?) suggestions about mixing up your environment you can get a great network services platform on some low-cost but good servers level boxes and then use Linux for desktop/major applications.
My favorite part is that on the many Sun boxes you can boot from either disk, letting you have a hot backup of the server *in the server*. Makes patching and upgrades less worrysome. :)
