Hi gang.

feels good to be back in Sparc land again!

I got a Enterprise 4500 for free with the following specs:

2 CPU Boards
2GB RAM (don't know if this is per board or in total).
No internal HDD:s

So I got questions:

1. Will Linux run on this machine?  It's quite quiet for it's size and  
the "ignition key" is pretty cool. :)

2. Can Linux access both CPU boards?  I noticed when attaching a  
monitor and keyboard that only the first CPU board had ports for that.  
The other one only had a network port.

3. Since there is no internal storage, my plan was to run Linux of an  
NFS mount. My plan is to use this machine as a web/mail/whatever  
server.  Is this even doable, and if so, how do I go about this?

Regards,

Joacim
