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.
