Really? I'd thought it was the entire OS (BTW, I'm pretty sure NeXTStep 3.3
will also run on it). I'm curious, do you happen to know if a
configureation like you're talking about will run on a dual processor
Sparc 20? I'd wouldn't mind the ability to run the Lighthouse apps
http://www.peak.org/next/apps/LighthouseDesign on my Sparc 20, and OmniWeb
would be cool also.

I've got OPENSTEP 4.2, but have only run it on x86 (and unfortunatly that HD
died).
