I've added screen & gcc to the list... Although for screen, you'll quickly run out of pty's. The default number is FOUR!! So it'll be a matter of rebuilding a kernel.

Also if you unpack gcc, don't forget the old gcc 1.3.6 stuff is first in the path so you'll have to rename the gcc/g++ in /usr/bin so that the /usr/local/bin versions will pick up.

An ultra 10? Well.. the Ultras are too new for SunOS.. And they won't run the 32bit only versions of Solaris...

I'd probably say, try OpenSolaris... It should run on an ultra 10... And the dev tools are now free!

Either that, or OpenBSD....

Back around 1993 the 386BSD stuff wouldn't work on my pc, so I went with Linux... which is sad because we didn't have TCP/IP... Not that it mattered, the only internet access I had was shell access, but there was this great program for Windows 3.1 called SLiRP that you would compile on the remote unix system, and it'd let you use the unix machine's tcp/ip stack from windows via a winsock.dll ... Oh it was awesome... irc, mosaic, telnet and all that with no ppp/slip infastructure.. And nobody at the uni ever cried about us wasting time on IRC because they never saw it (lol long before all this network packet inspection, and cheap sniffers).

kids have it rough these days, it's way harder to hide what you are doing over the network.

Good work! You know this is scary to me. Web-server from 1993...I used to USE the net a few times a week back then. We had a 9600 baud modem running on a 286 Compaq (can't remember the model of the machine, wish I could). Sad that the software from those days is hard to find.

Say, can you think of anything fun I could do with a Sparc Ultra 10 I have sitting in my garage?
