Not a problem. :)

It's definitely something that'll happen in the future... the "when" is
the question mark.  There are issues like quotas, networked file system
support, raid support, general stability, etc. that need to be worked on
before something can be settled on, etc.  I'm in no position to
speculate when or which it will be when it happens.

That's on the Cobalt side of things... I'm sure the rest of Sun would be
happy to sell you a Solaris/SPARC server with Disksuite or you can get
Veritas' stuff or whatever... so that *is* available from Sun, just not
as a server appliance.
