I'd like to know if anyone is using the Sun X86 servers with 6.x. If so, how is it preforming? I'm looking at possibly using them in a diskless environment (and a couple possibly with disks) I've read in the past that the disk controllers were not supported yet, I'm not sure if that's changed (or changing). What about network controllers? Please contact me off-list (unless others are interested as well).

We have about a dozen Sunfire X2100's in production running RELENG_6 The only problem we have had was with the nve driver, but bge works fine. The boxes are web and database servers.

I've been contemplating the new Ultra 20 workstation to try and learn Solaris on (but be able to run FreeBSD as well). James
