Thanks

AOLServer, PostgreSQL, Oracle all run on Solaris ... so you should have no problem running it on a E450 ...

Sure it will!

photo.net runs an older version of ACS (3.2) on a E450.

Many, many ACS/OpenACS of all various versions have been run on Sun E450s and similar machines, particularly back in the dot com boom days at ArsDigita. An E450 isn't going to give you even nearly the most bang for your buck (and those old Sun cpus seem to be particularly slow at integer operations; e.g. gzip'ing files takes a long time). But if you happen to have an E450 lying around it will run OpenACS just fine.
