[lug] Netra X1

[John Hernandez]

If it's Solaris exposure you're after (and not necessarily SPARC), go for Solaris x86 and save a few euros on hardware.

To the best of my knowledge, the Blade 1000 is a very useable workstation, but I only have second-hand information.  The appropriate amount of RAM depends on the applications you run, of course.
