Re: Linux on Sun

[fiaid@quasi-sane.com]

I was dual booting Solaris 8 and SuSE here at work for a while on a Sun 
Blade 100.  It was nice, although there is a severe lack of sparc support 
for alot of the distro's and software out there.  If you really get into 
it though, you can find alot of people who are doing the same thing and 
can give you a hand.  I am trying to find the mailing list that I was on 
for sparc linux a couple of years ago.
