Ok maybe Oracle has a point here looking past their reputation.

Did you know Sun had a Mac mini like product back in the day based on dual UltraSPARC T2+ Coolthreads SoCs? I almost bought it off eBay

Wouldn’t it be nice if Oracle brought that back and made the ultimate open source dev box? Their latest SPARC processors are wild

That would be irrelevant to me. If Oracle is involved, I don't want to touch it with a 10-foot pole.


They also had the very cool Cobalt RAQ's.

Nowadays, such a dev-focused box (instead of a mini do-it-all server) might be structured like the Mac Mini.
