Exactly, exactly. Have done it many times, very succesfully. Server running
with 2 Pentiums (Pentia ?), running for months without caring, with no
problem (as opposite to some other popular Intel-running OS'es). I do
sometimes wonder why the hell Sun does not put more effort to promote this.
Only downside so far I found is that Solaris is not running on some
Raid-controllers (hence uninstallable from the very beginning).
