PostgreSQL BuildFarm on Solaris on Sparc
Check out a new PostgreSQL buildfarm set up by Zdenek Kotala. (By the PostgreSQL community convention, I'm referring to it as a "buildfarm" but it should probably be better known as a "testfarm".)
Prepare simple and very practical Solaris manual and CDs.
Keep information simple. Sure lots of Linux users will buy Sun box.
Remember, manual MUST be simple and useful. If i know linux very well, i will not bother to read tons of document to use Solaris. Because most of work does not need.

Open Solaris has published some very simple manuals in paper (they may also be available online), which the team was distributing at OSCon. They are very neatly printed and of the right size to fit into a pocket or be held easily with one hand--120+ pages or condensed useful material on very light paper, and in very nice design.
