[SunRescue] LX versus SS5

[Mattias Paulsson]

Probably, yes.

> Are they going to both be too slow?

Probably, yes. But they will both be excellent systems for learning Solaris 8 on, especially if you have a decent frambuffer to go with that and no less than 64MB of RAM (I tried Sol8 on a SS10/40 with 32MB of RAM ... took forever to get something compiled).

I have tried Sol8 on a headless SS5/70MHz with 160MB of RAM and a fast SCSI disk and it went just fine.
