I still have several Sparcs -- mostly Ultra 5 and 10, and two third-party Sparcs, both manufactured by Tritec in Mainz, Germany IIRC, but one of them no more runs Linux as it's a 32-bit Sparc... I do run one UltraSparc 5 in production on Wheezy (it's a time server running with Squeeze kernel, c.f. https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2013/07/msg00005.html). I occassionally start up two other Sparcs with mostly Sid. (But the last time was quite a while ago.) Last bigger action on Sparc was that I've debugged multiple issues of grub2 on Sparc together with grub2 upstream locally at my home. I also planned to play around with the sparc64 port, but didn't get far with it. (Actually I was slightly frustrated when I noticed that Linux on Sparc seems to have no support for software RAID.) So far I've read debian-sparc@l.d.o only occassionally because it's quite low-traffic. (That's also why I'm replying just now.) I guess I need to keep some eye on it more often. I'm currently thinking about adopting SILO, but I fear my (arch-specific) C knowledge is not deep enough for that -- despite Jurij wrote that the main point is having access to a Sparc and that part is given for me.
