4 The minimal configuration requires 32 MB of RAM and ~120 MB of disk space.
5 To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
6 X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended, as
8 with 32 MB of RAM feels like
10 with 32 MB of RAM - slow.
11 Note that until you have at least 64 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more
12 important than getting a faster CPU.
14 Not all of the machines listed here have been tested. Often Sun will use
15 the same motherboard design in multiple models. For example, they'll
16 release a Blade ("workstation") model, Enterprise or Fire ("server")
17 model, and Netra or ft ("telco") model with essentially the same devices,
20 is concerned. If one model in this scheme works, it is highly likely
23 Sun has also released a few models with names that
24 might imply the systems are UltraSPARC-based but actually have an
25 i386 class CPU. These systems might be supported by the i386 port of
