SUN is a hardware company well known for producing the SPARC architecture (32 and 64 bit) Their hardware runs a proprietary UNIX OS called Solaris ('slowaris' ) or in the old days SunOS. NT could have been run through Citrix client (not really running on that machine) Check out <A HREF="http://www.sun.com/" target="_new">http://www.sun.com/</A>

Of course Linux is also available in 32 and 64 bit forms for the sparc architecturea s well as NetBSD and OpenBSD (32-bit only).
