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.
