an "appliance" running Solaris is probably a PC that Scott will never call such.

Tony - Re: "I wonder what Solaris licenses cost. Also, is there a "Solaris-light" (never heard of one), something like a Windows CE, scaled down for smaller machines/memory. Anyone? " I'm sure a call to Sun's sales office might get a quick answer. Re: "Very interesting Inktomi-Intel idea." This is superb - especially to address internet congestion. These web-caching servers can be distributed all across the world. Then, when any one wants a stock quote, for example, their search can be provided from a physically close Web-Cache Server, instead of each quote requiring IP traffic from the user, through the ISP - to the Portal-to the NYSE/NASDAQ/TIBCO server, and back. The Web Cache servers can be updated directly & periodically from the information source-server. Paul
