birthday presents : workstation-lust

Tim Foster's Weblog All | OpenSolaris | Translation, language and tools | Off-topic Friday August 12, 2005 Some thoughts about birthday presents : workstation-lust I haven't written an off-topic post in a while, so here goes. I've got a milestone birthday coming up in the next few months and themissus has been at me to come up with some present suggestions. I'mgenerally pretty bad at coming up with present ideas - I have most ofthe stuff I need already.. For the same milestone, I got the missus a bunchof diamonds, but they wouldn't really suit me : I'm not into jewellery to be honest. I'm a tecchie. So, it seems to be coming down to two possible options - either an iPod, or a new computer. Oh by the way, if anyone's got alternative ideas, I'm open to suggestions. Well, for the last while, I've actually been using my laptop as a large, slightly unweildly, but amazingly multifunctionalmusic player. Okay, I'll admit for playing music, it's overkill and battery life isn't quite 8 hours, but it does the job for the 1hr walk into workwhenever I've got a puncture, so no problems there. I'm starting to think about a new computer. The missus thinksthat I don't need another machine - the last one I got was an iMac backin 2002, but since it's my birthday present, I get to choose ! (besides, she's wrongabout me needing another computer ;-) I saw the announcement of the Ultra 20 workstation and got excited. This is somethingthat I can run Solaris Express on, do development of the Open Language Tools and (gulp) install win32 (just so I can playHalf-Life2 you understand : I blame Glynn for showing me that back in March , I was hooked in less than 10 minutes. Installing windows will be extrememly gut-wrenching for me, but the game really does look so good that I'll willingly run an atrocious, buggy, insecure and unpleasant operating system just to be able to play it. Thank goodness for grub and firewalls!) I've never owned a Sun workstation - but have admired them for many years, andmentioned it before : we've produced some really cracking workstations over theyears, and this one is no exception. It screams along . In the past, for me as a home user, getting a Sun workstationwas always going to be way out of reach, financially : but this one seemspretty reasonable at only $800 - wow! Regarding workstation design, I've never seen better built systems than Sunmachines. Have a peek inside your machine. Which of the following match yours ?(now yes, this is a wildly unfair comparison - but induldge me for a bit, okay) Apple This is about as close to my Apple workstation as they'll allow me to get, exceptperhaps for the tiny door on the bottom to add RAM or an Airport. I believe thisone (and it's succesor) is a laptop squeezed into a tiny space,with some nice ergonomics. Okay, "workstation" is the wrong word to use here, thisis definitely a consumer device rather than a workstation, so I'm being a bit unfair. I like Apple machines, as does the missus, but they don't run Solaris (yet?)and I won't be able to play Half-Life2. I'm still waiting on the iTunes port toSolaris (yes, I did ask them - didn't get a reply though) I'd also like Canon toport their Digital Photo Professional software to Solaris too - again, no joy yet. Dell This is what the inside of my Dell machine looks like. Again, an unfaircomparison : this is an Optiplex GX110, and is a few years old (Pentium III 733mhz with 256mb RAM, though it runs Solaris 10 just fine). Internally though,doesn't it look messy ? Newer Dell machines are a little nicer, I'll admit, but they're still not a patch on a good Sun box. Sun Okay - here's what I mean by a workstation : just look at this ! My SunBlade 2000 (okay, not mine , Sun owns this one). It's very welldesigned. The 2nd image there shows a plastic wallet attached to the inside of the case, with a leaflet explaining how to service the machine(add processors, ram, disks, etc.) The 3rd image there is of a tool that's also inside the case, allowing you to remove the CPU board.The "W" in SUNW means Workstation Historically , we've always been building these sorts of machines - they're fantastic : right back to the SparcStation 1 pizza boxes, through SparcStation 10 sand 20s, IPC, IPX and Classic machines, Sparc 5s, and Ultra 1s and 2s : all excellentmachines in their time. Looks like the new Ultra 20 machines are continuing this legacy - are there instructions on how to service the system on the inside of the case ? Yep, Ithink so (haven't yet seen a production version of the hardware yet) USB and Firewire ports on the front, SATA disks, and a blazingly fast AMD processor : and, for bonus domestic brownie-points, it even looks pretty :-) Oh, and if you think our workstations are well designed, you should seriously check out our servers - they're just as good, if not better.
