RE: Interesting HPUX Software
I have ISO of the application toolkit disks and I use my C8000 quite a bit.
I have a softspot for HP Softbench, which I use for improving my still bad C and the graphics demos are interesting. A few don't run properly on the C8000 because of the FireGL, so I wish I had an earlier model. The car simulation game sounds interesting.
All the OpenGL demos come with source code, which is nice (some of the source code includes mandatory cursing).
Someone on stackexchange said he would get Quake 3 running, and I helped getting the compile (if I recall correctly), but never heard back.
Also for remote X and daily driving the c8000 goes very nicely for web browsing, because of gigabit ethernet, and it gets the colours right.
I also got GIMP running and when I'm playing around with OpenGL, I can create the textures there, etc..
The C8000 is also quiet. But super hot. It's the hottest computer I own.
My 712 is now running nextstep. Not much to do with HP-UX 10
