FWIW-For all of you Gentoo guru's:The Gentoo-SPARC instructions state that X is not supported on Gentoo-SPARC. But it also talks about using Xsun or somesuch. Does X run on Gentoo-SPARC and it's just not supported by the Gentoo guys? Do you have to buy Sun's X server for Linux? What's the deal here. I'm trying to test out Linux on SPARC and since everyone who tries Gentoo raves, I though I'd try that one this time around (since Gentoo, Slack, Deb, and Sorceror's are the only major distros to support SPARC at this point-per DistroWatch). Thanks! Matt
I have a central syslog server running on Aurora Linux which is based on RH 7.3. This machine is a Sun E250 formerly running Solaris 8. Aurora is worth a look, it's worked flawlessly on my Ultra5 at home too. (running X)
From the Aurora web site:
Thursday, September 26th, 2002: The Aurora SPARC Linux Project to announce Build 0.4 (Titanium) to the world. This time, it comes with a healthy serving of fully functional tftp, and a nice new 2.4.19 kernel for dessert. On top of that, we even succeeded in making it do a GUI install on a Sun Blade 100.
and
Monday July 1st, 2002: The Aurora SPARC Project is proud to announce Build 0.3 (Phoenix) to the world. With the exception of Anaconda, Phoenix is a complete 7.3 based tree, including KDE3, Gnome 1.4, XFree86 4.2.0, a 2.4.18 kernel, and both gcc 2.96 & 3.1 compilers.
