I have not taken delivery yet but I am getting excited. I understand tht it is 
a single cpu 200 Mhz chip. Can you install an os on sun machines the same way 
you install on x86? Or is it in some fugly apple-like manner?

Is solaris 9 like linux that it can run on anything (no matter how slow), or is 
it like windows that I would take a major speed hit with the upgrade?
