Why not? It would blow the doors off any 386-based server. Sun sells
the SparcStation 1 in a server configuration with disk, but no monitor
or keyboard. Since the SLC is basically the same CPU, it should make
a decent server for a small network.
Since this is getting a little far afield from the purpose of this
newsgroup, I think I'll just listen for a while. (Unless someone
says something *really* outrageous! :-) )
