That's pretty cool... it'd also be cool if they helped the port of  
Solaris to Power(PC), though I doubt that'd be much of a sale-maker

?? I've had SPARC boxes from Tadpole and Integrix, and I thought that  
they sold Solaris on them?

Or do you mean the first time a third-party vendor that sells their  
own UNIX would sell Solaris on their machines?
