I am sorry I was not able to clarify on the thread I started sooner (busy
day...)
<p>Thanks for everyone's input on the performance between Solaris and Linux.
<p>I do mean the clear plastic holder for an internal disk drive on a Sparc5.
I got a replacement disk off the
<br>web (cheap) that was supposed to include the "kit" which the guy I
talked too said that the kit
<br>included the plastic mounting thingy.
<p>I am running Solaris8 on a Sparc5 80Mhz cpu and 256MB memory.
I haven't been too disappointed
<br>overall, but I had a pc running Linux 6.2 on 400Mhz and 256MB
memory and I liked my pc better.
<p>Stupid question, but what would be the best way to go about removing
solaris and installing linux.
<br>Is there a preferred distro?
<p>Matt.

<p>Hmm. Your idea makes a lot more sense than the CD thing (I though he
means
<br>cdrom caddie too.. we'll have to wait and see!)
<p>> In the Sparc 5 (and 1, 2, 10, 20, etc), you strap your hard drive
into a
<br>> little plastic (or metal) caddie and then secure the caddie in the
case.
<br>> It's weird, but that's what they chose to do.
<p>It's less weird than sticking it in a case and looking for a way to
get to the
<br>screw holes. The SPARC1-20 are pretty much like lego on the inside...
