Hello,
I am trying to reinstall operating systems on my sun ultra 20 and would
require access to the ultra 20 supplemental CD. We do not have a current
oracle support contract and I did not find any way to obtain the ISO
images without that.
Since we have bought the hardware we should have access to this IMHO.
Anyway I would be very happy if somebody could share this download with
me because this would save me a lot of headaches.
I have now got one of these but with no software, did you manage to find a reliable source? I need an iso BAD! lol kindest regards
I guess I'm missing what the appeal of running it is other than you
have the thing sitting in front of you. It seems like an anemic
super-generic (other than the magic drivers that you need) x86 box
that could be easily replaced by something else for the cost of
selling it off. For that form factor, get something like a used Dell
Precision workstation, which would give you tons more power and bells
and whistles and options for running any number of OSes, including
Solarisx86, probably runing better than the Ultra 20 ever could.
It was pretty neglected from the start when Sun released it and had
zero traction for anything since then.
