I finally did it... I applied for the Sun T2000 Try-and-Buy program. Why? I'm curious and this blog entry by Jonathan Schwartz finally convinced me to do it.

What will I do with it (if I get it)? I don't know, yet. I probably will run some J2EE things I wrote as part of my job - mostly database centric stuff, with some pretty large XML manipulations thrown in. And I will test some garbage collector related stuff (multiple gc-threads and so on) because at on project I'm working on we pass lots of binary data through the VM which after a while have to be thrown away.

I'm looking forward to test this machine.

Nachdem ich die letzten beiden Tage schon eifrig alles vorbereitet habe, ist es heute geschehen... Der Scourbase-Server ist umgezogen und läuft jetzt fröhlich und munter auf einer Opteron-Kiste bei Strato.
