I have a bit of time, and an U2 under the desk at work with 1.6L running
on it - I just don't have any experience with ultrasparcs :-)

Anyone have some nice documentation to get someone up to speed?  We use
Sun kit pretty much exclusively (and extensively) at work so it's
probably in my best interests to enclue myself.

While I'm here - anyone found any problems with pax-as-tar on -current
recently?  Archives created on the U2 can be decompressed on there fine,
but as soon as I copy them across to either my solaris box or a
FreeBSD/i386 machine I get

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
Archive ../cvs.tar.gz EOF not on block boundary

same with .pax files.  Thankfully tar over an ssh tunnel works.

Cheers,
