[Suns-at-Home] Solaris software collection

[aaron hayes]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the Sun Solaris thing, but I've always
wanted sparc hardware, and now I can finally afford
it. (sorta)
I've got an ultra 2, 2x300MHZ, 2 GB ram, installed
solaris 10 on it. I'm getting a E420r, 4x450 MHZ, 4 GB
ram, 2x9 GB disk, I'd imagine I'll run solaris 10 on
it.  

My question is, what software would you install on
these machines in a workstation/education environment?

I just want to learn more about Sun stuff. I really
like the sunray idea, and can pickup some sunray's for
$50 each at a shop near my home. But have no idea how
to begin setting that up.I setup Sun Secure global
desktop, which I like, but its only a 30 day demo, is
there a free version of something similar? are there
other more desktop friendly os's out there? what
software do you think makes Solaris/sparc great
equipment? what do you actually run on it?
