Bought... bummer I could have given you mine three weeks ago.
 
I think all the latest bits are on sun.com (cobalt.sun.com)... 
Give it a search on sun and google.

Bring it up behind a NAT firewall.

The older default packages for web server and such have been hacked
so you will need to recompile newer bits for most all the out-
facing applications....

It is a fun little box... not quite as powerfull as my little OLPC XO.
It does hold much larger disks and has hard wire ethernet.

If I was to win the big lottery I would be tempted to update it.
I would love to have a 10 watt little herk server...
Heck, the little Pico-ITX may already be there.
