"Improving" certainly wouldn't help, especially without VM as suggested: the only way to achieve this would be by stripping out features. A lot of features. Also, one cannot really compare old Suns (probably still with 68k) with their old SunOS to a computer of this decade and Solaris today. I know we had such a machine in our university, and (definitely with VM, though), and it took quite some time to get X started on it if you dared to try that ;-) Bye, Axel.
