I am rolling out about 40 of them, pretty good once you get a stable NT disk
image to copy about for the users. The Sun pdf help files are actually
helpful. Access to all directories on the workstation via a Sun VMware-like
file manager extension is nice. Small niggles with video/mouse problems, but
Sun have fixed most of them with updates to the SUNpci2 packages. I am using
one to type this message, via the corporate bloatware e-mail system. Go for
it, definitely worth the effort, but every time you change the disk image,
RE-APPLY THE SUN UPDATES..... Anyone who has to dirty their hands with $ms
will know what I mean.
