[Aurora-sparc-user] Best Upgrade OS for Sun4u? (Currently Aurora 1.0)

[Cal Webster]

Oh great! I take it I'd probably need to install Aurora 2.99 first? If
so, I'll get started downloading the ISO's so I'm ready. I'm getting
ready to leave for the day so I don't want to get anyone wound up and
then leave them hanging.
