   It was both great and terrible. Compared to a contemporary PC, the motherboard looked like alien technology. But within 1-2 years, you could buy a faster PC for 1/5th of the price and put Linux on it. By the end of the 90's, Linux had better development tools and a nicer desktop than Solaris' horrible CDE.
