Summary
This beauty of a system is the datashed systems and network administration workhorse. I acquired it ca. 2002 while working as a UNIX Systems Administrator Associate for Lockheed Martin. It was my main home computer for some time, a role in which it served me well.
I developed trapd and a bunch of goofy text-mode games on this in C, and it got me through a Modula-2 course.
Though it originally ran Solaris 8, I have since upgraded to Solaris 10--though I question exactly how well this qualifies as an "upgrade", given the decreased performance and lack of OpenWindows desktop. GNOME is completely unusable on such a slow system, but CDE is quite serviceable.
Inspiration
This was inspired by the character of Yuna from Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. She is a kind and honest character, a summoner and seeker of truth.

Current Usage
This machine is used to perform administration tasks in the datashed. It is too slow for most web browsing, but is quite good as an ssh terminal.
SunPCI
The SunPCI board in this machine hosts Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 virtual machines, both joined to the Windows 2000 and NT4 domains, the infrastructure of each being virtualized under ESXi on vm-esxi-01. I use this to do domain administration as needed, as well as SQL Server administration, etc.
