Some Notes on Machine Functionality
The Suns all run Solaris 2.7 (also known as Solaris 7 and SunOs 5.7).
Piemonte has an extra disk and tape drive, used for backing up the other Solaris
machines.
Monviso has a connected printer that can be accessed by the others, including
the PC.
Torino is by-and-large taken care of by Barbara Di Eugenio.
