The subject line says it all…

It may only be a SPARCstation 5, with a rather fast CPU though (the SS20en only have 125 MHz and 150 MHz ROSS CPUs), with a small, slow and lout hard disc and very few RAM, but hey, it installs, the cgsix(4/sparc) scrolls quickly (as the tvtwo(4/sparc) currently is unaccelerated), and builds packages like a charm. Yay! I even have mc (Midnight Commander) now…
