This week arrived my latest toy, a Sun Blade 1500 Sparc workstation, but when I went to install Solaris on it (came with Debian Sparc linux) I wasn't able to find th DVD. I went to the Oracle web and found a new release from August.
You can download the DVD iso for Sparc and x86 systems from this page: Solaris 10 downloads.
And here you are the 'What's new' document as pdf.
More info about this workstation later.
P.D.: I bought this machine without power supply. This can be a big problem because the Sun Blade 1500/2500 workstation series need three plugs/connectors from the power supply: an standard ATX 20 & 4 pin plugs and an special 12 pin plug for supplemental power supply. I just installed an standard ATX power supply and the machine is booting and working correctly. I have to make extensive more checks to the hardware but nothing rare is happening without this connection.
Sí, soy humano… ¿pero cómo diablos lo pruebo?
