  Hi;

I'm a "lurker" here and saw this message traffic about Linux on Sparc
platforms.  Just wanted to be sure that you all knew that a port is already
"in progress", just like netBSD and the others.


I think that most people into it right now are getting versions off of
RedHat's ftp server.  Check their web site (http://www.redhat.com) for
more info.

Also try doing a web search for S/Linux or sparclinux.
