I just recently got a used Sparc machine for $75 plus shipping from RetroBox (http://www.retrobox.com/) a place in Ohio. In my case, I put NetBSD on it, which I'm coming to regret (the NetBSD/sparc64 port doesn't seem to have precompiled binary packages available beyond the stock distribution sets). Isn't Solaris now a free download (at least for non-commercial use)? Or was that just the x86 release?
