However, for probably about the price of a good, cheap, used E-450, you can buy at least 1 2.4 GHz Intel box, and possibly more, and get much more and better performance than you would on an E-450. Personally, I'd spend my $ there.

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,
Ted
