[clue-tech] Modern/Current SPARC Linux Distros

[Richard Knechtel]

I got a Sparc Ultra-10 on ebay, I didn't find a Linux distro I really liked 
that worked as well as solaris does on sparc hardware. You can get Solaris 
for free, just go download it. I am running solaris 9 but am working on 
getting ready to install solaris 10 soon. I would go with the solaris 10 
install. Watch the memory though. Check if it starts throwing errors. When 
I got my Ultra-10 it was a great deal, however the memory was throwing 
errors (memory starting to go bad). Be forwarned SPARC memory is exspenive!!!!
