A number of years ago I loaded RH 4.2 on an old Sun box, I think it was
an LX? Not sure if that is the correct designation or not. Ran it for
a couple of years. Still have the CDs for it. But that Sun box is long
gone.
Solaris 10 has some really nice features. Have been considering setting
up a box or two with that sometime in the near future.
