I do not know the model, but does it not have a sparc processor?
There is a redhat version for sparc, but one would have to do a llittle more work.
I think it is going to be easyer to just load the applications on the Sun box and use Solaris on it.
Once you have gcc going opn the Sun, you can get most things working if it is open-source.

I've spent most of my time running Solaris on Sun equipment. The past 6 months I've been working with RedHat on intel pc's (as "servers"). Management doesn't want to spend any money. I've got an opportunity to pick up a Sun Enterprise 450 Workgroup server for very cheap money. I would like to use it to replace a pc that has been pressed in to service as a "server" but we are running RedHat on it. I have a copy of Solaris that I could put on the 450 but the apps we have on the "pc server" are running on RedHat now. I don't know if it would be a seamless transition to move them to Solaris. Will RedHat run on a Sun Enterprise 450 server without any special configuration? Also, does anyone know if Sun's Solstice DiskSuite will run on RedHat. It is a pretty good software RAID solution that I am already familiar with. I'm sure there is another one out there somewhere but I'd rather not learn another right now.
Thanks in advance,
