I just want to say that I am VERY excited about the development of SPARC discussion.
I personally am more interested in SunRays over frame buffers, commercial network management tools over Open Source, clustered ZFS file systems for network management apps over embedded storage servers. As soon as the first SPARC distro's are running, I know at least one other new member will be joining the community, since it would become relevant for more commercial work.
