Re: MySQL documentation? solaris experience

["Steve Reindl" <sreindl@home.com>]

I know! I was told to put RH on it but curiosity got the better of me. What
can I say. It's a 110Mhz CPU with 128Meg ram. It still installs very slow
and boots very slow and shuts down very slow. It's vey slow. What did I do
with that RedHat iso? What's the latest RedHat Sparc distro 6.2 or 7? Should
I read? Perhaps not!

Steve
PS It came with SunOS 5.7 on it so naturally I trashed that! I guess it's
too late to hack the password now, eh?
