Windows Server 2003 on Sun Fire X4100 Server

Windows Server 2003 on Sun Fire X4100 Server
There was something interesting to do in office this week. They needed to install Windows Server 2003 on a Sun Fire X4100 server so that it could be used for running an anti-virus solution. It had RedHat installed previously but they didn’t have license for Linux version of Symantac anti-virus.

One’d think how difficult it could be..installing Windows…point, click, voila. It is actually like that in most of cases..but not in this one. Earlier it was Linux which needed loads of tweaking, needed specialised drivers, dependencies and what not. But now, positions have changed. Linux supports most hardware out of the box unlike Windows.
