Prasad K Dharmasena of University of Maryland has donated a "pizza box" containing a Sun SparcStation 5 (170 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 4.2 GB SCSI Harddisk, CD-ROM, floppy, keyboard, mouse), extra SCSI hard disk (2.1 GB), installation CDs (RedHat Linux for sparc and intel, netbsd, openbsd and Solaris) and networking and power supply hardware.

Some time ago, an almost discarded Sun IPC belonging to CS was salvaged by two CS students, Sarod Yatawatta and K P Visakan, with a kind donation of spare parts from Prasad.

With the courtesy of Prasad and the Department of Computer Sciences at University of Peradeniya, LKLUG now has access to a full blown Sun SparcStation 5.
