It was slowly being replaced by vagrant in some courses and I think after I left I’m pretty sure they replaced whatever hardware it was on with something running Linux.
I remember it was mildly annoying because the Java compiler on it was a bit old and different in some way, though I can’t really remember how.
Ours didn’t have fun names., or at least not ones that were exposed to students. I honestly didn’t know too much about about them but I suspect at the time Sparc systems were one of the larger machines compute wise you could get outside of mainframes. So very suitable for a university multiuser setup.
No Canada, and even then it was a bit of a relic.

Alright. 😄 We also had a couple Solaris servers at my uni. They had the names “itchy” and “scratchy”.
