Aside from the previously mentioned lockups with 2.6 kernels, Gentoo

Isn't that the truth. I log in once a week (or sooner if a security
advisory gets posted) and run an 'emerge sync' and 'emerge system'.
*yawn*
The SPARCs really love Gentoo, they just run and run and run...
My next project will be move an e250 and an e450 to Gentoo... then those
boxes will be boring too. :-)
I'm certainly jealous. My E4500 will only run a couple of days before
it hangs requiring a reboot. Sometimes it will still respond to pings
but that's all. Never any console messages, just a hung box. On my
uniprocessor sparc's (U5 and U30) is is very stable but not on the E4500
with 8 CPU's. It is running Gentoo with a 2.4 kernel (2.4.31 at the
moment).
