Sun Servers for Personal Use
807557Nov 7 2006 — edited Nov 11 2006I recently have come into possesion of a Sun Enterprise 450 Ultra, a Sun Enterprise 3500, and two Storedge 5200(s). The company I work for (a straight by the books windows enterprise) recently took over a competitor that made use of Sun/Solaris, so they were getting thrown away. My conciense wouldnt allow this. I would like to assimalate at least one of the servers into my home network, but do not even know where to start. My ultimate goal would be to have a Server runnign ultralinux (sparc linux port) that I can use as a fileserver/vpn router, with one of the SAN's attached to the fileserver. Would either server neccesarily be better than the other? They seem pretty similar to me, but im completely in the dark looking at these things. Im open to ideas and suggestions.
