Hello list,

that's my first post, so ... Greetings to everyone!

I want to play with Self 4.3 and I'm planing to use the version for the Solaris operating system. I'm new to this OS, so i have two questions:

What version of Solaris is needed by Self 4.3 (couldn't find any specific information in the release notes). 2) What hardware is suited for running Self 4.3 with an acceptable performance? I have no SUN workstation yet, so i am looking for one at Ebay. Would a SUN Ultra 60 workstation be a sufficient machine?

Thanks for any help!

With best regards, Andreas Semt

I used to run it on a plain old Ultra 5 :-) The JIT compiler is incredibly tuned on the Sparc. At least, it was... dunno about the current Self version(s). I've even run it with decent performance on a Sparc 20!
