Cool man :) But please take the successor, MartUX was really only experimental and is unmaintained since 2006. I fell into the SPARC-Xorg "trap", which took all my time and money away since then. I simply didn't have any time to maintain the actual distro. http://www.martux.org/SPARC_distro_incl_Xorg7.2/ http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/fox/SPARC-Xorg/ http://www.martux.org/MartUX__OSDevCon2007.pdf http://www.martux.org:8001 Thanks for being interested. I will support you (all of the few interested individuals). The Blade 100 boots smootly into Xorg and icewm (Natamar).
