We currently have three Solbourne S4000 systems ( one week old ) running
in a heavy Sun envirnoment.  If you ignore that they are still using
OS 4.0.3, the systems slid into the network without a hitch.  This
was in all aspects, NIS, printers, NFS the works.  We are expecting
OS 4.1 by the end of June which will aleivate some software incompatibility
problems in the libraries.
