We have lots of Creator3D machines at SSEC, and I have used
Elite3D machines for giving VisAD demos in Sun booths at
IEEE Vis and JavaOne. We run mostly Solaris 2.6 (e.g., 6)
here, but I assume the machines in Sun's booth have more
recent Solaris versions.
The Elite3D machines are significantly faster than the
Creator3D machines.
Hopefully other people have more detailed experiences to
relate.
Cheers,
Bill
