<div>I've been working quite a bit recently with SunOS 4 on a
SPARCstation 5, seeing what I can coax out of it in terms of
building and supporting a modern computing environment. I
know that TUHS isn't really the right place for this, but can
someone point me to somewhere that is? I've made significant
progress in some areas and spent a lot of cycles to get there
- for instance, I have GCC 3.4.6 up and running - so I'd like
to contribute to a community if one exists. Is there a modern
equivalent of sun-managers?</div>

I recently saw that Solaris 11.4 SRU66 was released and had a
yearning to see how things in Solaris land were doing (can't stand
Gnome so OpenIndiana's a bust)... but with Oracle's Solaris, it's
a mess at least for hobbyists (only get release patches, so I'm
guessing the most up to date 'release' was 11.4 in 2018). So, when
I saw your post on SunOS 4, I thought I'd tool around and see if
it was easy to get rolling as a VM, turns out things have come a
long way on that front:<br>

OpenWindows 3... wow... works great on my Mint instance. Now, if I
could just remember how commands work on SunOS :).<br></font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks Will! You may also be interested in <a href="https://john-millikin.com/running-sunos-4-in-qemu-sparc">https://john-millikin.com/running-sunos-4-in-qemu-sparc</a> as another resource about running SunOS 4 in QEMU. I have considered moving my setup to QEMU, especially as it would be very easy to create a hard drive image since I am using a SCSI2SD board, but there is something about running these things on the original hardware that is difficult to leave behind.</div><div><br></div><div>-Henry<br></div></div></div>
