Also, running Solaris 10, being big endian and using Xsun instead of a current Xorg server makes it perfect to find odd issues.</p> <p>I had a few issues with getting machine up and running, the PSU and harddrive experienced some post storage issues. The PSU magically got back to life after trying another PSU out, harddrive got replaced. When that was all sorted out trying pekwm out to see if there was any issues.</p>
