Still growing, a little help appreciated.

People have been playing with Solaris on manbo - I know of [DGB] with
bochs and QEMU builds, [MSH] with Monotone. [DAG]'s got manduba booting
Debian with NFS-root for the moment - the installer doesn't support
that properly anymore. (!) You can ssh into manbo or manduba and poke
'round, or come along to tomorrow (Friday) evening's night of pizza and
SPARC-ery in the clubroom.

There's some good deals on ebay now, so we're going to start buying
some more bits and pieces - time to start collecting those pledges by
depositing them with a handy cokegroup member. Memory, perhaps even a
serve of Jalapeno Nachos, if it stays cheap ::-) .

Thanks to [VEL], [CAM] and [TRS] for paying up already!
