[rescue] Spark10 CPU question

[Patrick Giagnocavo]

You can find a lot of good ex-Sun guys at Joyent. They still maintain
and release a version of Solaris.

can count on its excellent memory handling - on Linux I have to watch
the memory carefully.

Tempted to fire up Illumos/SmartOS on a 1U server I have, however...
