[Sunhelp] Sun becomes xterm?

[Melinda Taylor]

Hello,

I manage a number of Sun servers in my dept. as well as some
sun xterms which boot off my most powerful server.
Some of the servers are old, they are running solaris 2.6
which is good, but they also have limited disk space so
much so that most apps are nfs mounted off the main server.

I am thinking therefore, since alot of time is spent maintaining the OS
on these olders machines (usually only used by ne person anyway)
it may be worth just turning them into xterms not servers.
Is this possible? Can I just program the PROM on say the IPX or SS4
machine so that it wil boot off the network or is there
a significant different between the two?

If you can direct me to any faqs that would be great.

Ideally I would love to get that solstice package that implements
any changes i make to all solaris servers but my work cannot afford it.

Thanks :)
