[rescue] Sun Solaris questions...

[Bob Darlington]

I see it here:
https://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/s11exp/systems/_gsdata_/_saved_/views/all_desktops_oracle_systems.mfg.page1.html


But don't see it here:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E60973/glmru.html#scrolltoc

So maybe an Ultra 2 doesn't work with 11.4?   Then I'll keep my Solaris
10.  IF this is the case, then I'll be happy with the memory heading my
way.
