[SunRescue] Sol8 on dummy machines.....

[Simeon Johnston]

I would also like to know if this would work.  Also am wondering if
anyone really knows the spead difference between Linux, BSD or Solaris.
Is there any huge performance differences.  I am just wondering for my
own personal edification.  I have extra space on my PC (AMD rules), why
not fill it up?
