It was originally running Linux, but we switched to Solaris due to the fact that the code generated by Sun's fortran compilers is, for various applications we tried, 20-50% faster than g77 generated code. I can't recall how well it did on C apps. It is possible to run some Solaris apps under linux, however, be prepared to do some kernel hacking to get them to work correctly. I was never able to get an Solaris-compiled MPI app to run on more than two machines, but we had alot of success with one of our serial codes. Let me know if you need any more info - I'll be more than happy to provide it. Jason -- Jason Rappleye rappleye at buffalo.edu http://www.ccr.buffalo.edu/jason.htm
