Just curious since the last time that I ran RedHat on a Sun the hardware 
support was minimal and the port was eventually abandoned.  Of course I 
was using older hardware like IPX, SS5. Seems like as soon as you stray 
from x86, the quality of the port goes down.  Are there other Linux/Sparc 
ports available now?  I see BSD has an UltraSparc port, has anyone tried 
it?
