Why not just by a cheap Sun box on e-Bay? Some come with Solaris
installed or you can buy a Solaris 10 media kit for $40 or download it
for free. For that matter, I have an old Ultra 5, 360MHz Sparc, 256MB,
~9GB disk, CD-ROM, floppy I'd part with. You'd have to find a Sun
keyboard and mouse for it and a monitor. I bought it to practice newly
acquired Sysadmin skills and have since upgraded to a trio of Ultra 10s.
