Re: What to do!?

[Tighe <emry@accessus.net>]

I would go with the RedHat, but if you wanna be a really sick bastard
install both and then dual boot the machine.  That is what I have my ultra
1 doing here at work.  :)  5400 rpm 9 gig scsi's should be that hard to
find.  Are they ribbon cabled or do you need the little disk rail to
attach them?  Solaris 8 isn't that hard to install but, you are goin to
need to chop it down to size to make it work correctly and smoothly if you
are stuck with that much room.
