[SunRescue] Cooling in SS4/SS5/SS10?

[Chris Byrne]

Well not exactly whichever you like. If you use openwin they keep giving you
messages about how openwin has been deprecated and how you should migrate
etc... etc...

Really really irritating

Whatever you like.  If you prefer another window manager (twm, fvwm, etc)
then you can run that instead.

There's a menu on the login screen for a command line login (as well as a
minimal X failsafe login).  man dtconfig for info on disabling the graphic
login screen entirely.

Depends on what you're doing.  I would want more running netscape, Frame
and SDRC IDEAS at one time but for a web browser and a pile of xterms
you'll be fine.

There's some minimal stuff at docs.sun.com.  What are you looking for?
