|
The minimal configuration requires 32 MB of RAM and ~60 MB of disk space.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
|
|
X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended, as
|
|
.Nx
|
|
with 32 MB of RAM feels like
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
with 32 MB of RAM - slow.
|
|
Note that until you have at least 64 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more
|
|
important than getting a faster CPU.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Not all of the machines listed here have been tested. Often Sun will use
|
|
the same motherboard design in multiple models. For example, they'll
|
|
release a Blade ("workstation") model, Enterprise or Fire ("server")
|
|
model, and Netra or ft ("telco") model with essentially the same devices,
|
|
as far as
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is concerned. If one model in this scheme works, it is highly likely
|
|
another will work.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sun has also released a few models with names that
|
|
might imply the systems are UltraSPARC-based but actually have an
|
|
i386 class CPU. These systems might be supported by the i386 port of
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
See the following site for more info on what system boards are in which
|
|
models.
