	OK, this is going to be more challenging than I thought. The drive
	runs fine, but I can't easily install much. Getting things to work
	seems so hard, like back in the day. All of these dependencies and
	missing software is taking me back to beginners mind. Kinda sux0rz
	when I just want things to work so I can do old computing and it's
	not. Then again, now that I think about it, this was how it was
	before. I think I just did not mind it so much then since I did not
	have a reference of the computing of now on now's technology.

	New or updated software is not going to happen on the Sun Ultra 10.
	Too much time has been spent trying to find a way to install a
	different OS or even install/update packages. The existing tools
	will have to be used the best I can.

	An external 19" Samsung flat CRT has been added for the display.
	The keyboard is a Sun Microsystems Model Type 6 keyboard with a
	Sun Model Crossbow mouse tethered to it via 8-pin mini-din. It
	even has a mouse ball, but no scroll wheel. The keyboard layout is
	so different from the usual ones I use. It will take some time to
	adjust. No USB ports either.

	To help fill in the gaps, I have added the Asus eeepc 701,
	which qualifies with 1 CPU and <=512MB RAM. It is running AntiX
	Linux distro. An external mouse, keyboard, and square Shuttle LCD
	has been added.

	Since this set up is taking some space, I decided to repurpose the
	computer desk my aunt wanted disposed. This definitely helps so
	I won't have the OCC stuff mixed in with the work stuff (I work
	remote.)

	There are about 90 minutes left until the challenge begins for my
	time zone. Not much left to do to prep and I think I have what I
	need on these machines. Shutting down and rebooting the Ultra 10
	will be kept to a minimum during the occ since there are all these
	incantations I need to express each time the machine is restarted.

	Here's a link to the occ section of my projects area:
