Solaris 2.6. It's an SS5/110 w/ 96m RAM and a ZX framebuffer. I know I 
can install the ZX packages under Sol8, but what's the point? All the 
resident OS is used for is to log into the machine downstairs and 
display. 2.6 has a reasonable footprint and does just fine, thanks. The 
only thing missing is some of the power management stuff. I'd love for 
her to be able to Shift-Power to save a session and put the machine to 
sleep.

Hey, it's my wife on a 32-bit SPARC. I'd say that's a major 
accomplishment.
