Edward, You are so lucky ! Wish I could get my hands on one of those Sun machines. You will need Aurora Linux, which is roughly equivalent to FC3 now, I think. See this: http://auroralinux.org/ Installation can be a little tricky. I tried it out on a Netra T1 a year ago, and the networking part almost made me give up. This was caused by the 4-port ethernet card inside. You may want to check if your E250/E450 uses the quad card. If it does, here's a hint, the port assignments may be messed up, so, before you try troubleshooting, try plugging the cable into one socket after another. Another thing: you may need to set the MAC address manually. Otherwise, I have to say that the performance of Linux on Sparc just blew me away! IIRC the Netra had 256MB of RAM, and a 300MHz processor (or something like that) and it ran faster than my Fujitsu 1.8GHz 512MB desktop running FC3 back then. And this was a Netra that dated back to 1999, at least ! -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
