Hi Karl, 

Anne is actually the "lead" on this project, but seeing no response i will
chime in..

I have found my PC Solaris-x86 to be stable, we have heard about negative
issues with RH 7.2, and GEMPAK incompatibilities with RH 7.3.

Support on the Intel processors may be going away on Solaris...


We also recommend enough RAM to store your queue, we have had success
with a 7GB queue w/8GB of RAM. Hard drive, obviously is all up to you.
This, is of course suggested, swap still works just fine, but we find on
heavily loaded machines it is nice if the queue fits in RAM space.


The more and faster the processors the better, we suggest at least dual
450's, but with the prices they are, maybe dual 1 GB processors would be
nice :)

This is my opinion, others may vary...

-Jeff
