Debian Sparc (Woody) and ATL support
Hello, I was curious to see if anyone has had any success using HP surestore 2/20 ATL with Debian on Sparc (Any flavor). I cannot find anything positive about this combination anywhere. Regards, Daren
Open Office deb
Does anyone have any unofficial sources or sparc debs they'd care to share for open office? I've had no luck obtaining any so far don't exactly look forward to compiling it on my machine... Thanks in advance, -Mark -- --)) --))

The box isn't going to be stable without a lot of involved kernel work that nobody quite understands, and nobody really has time to do.

No, ss5/170 is a turbosparc; the hypersparc is an entirely different beast, and it's not in a sparcstation 5 ever. We're *only* talking about the sparcstation 5/170, not any other ss5 and not any other 170MHz cpu. Just TurboSPARC. -- Peter What we need is either less corruption, or more chances to participate in it.

And after a moment of thought, I feel even dumber now that usual, having read sparc 5 and thought sparc 20. See why you should always leave the stress of work at work? ;-) -dave
