I use an Ultra 5 running Debian and a Sparc20 (currently running RedHat) without problems in a mostly Solaris environment (NFS home dirs, automount, NIS, etc.). Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm also looking to use them in a mostly-solaris environment; my experience shows that the linux nfs implementation leaves some things to be desired. Are there problems with this?

I have potato installed on a sparc 1 and it runs great. I also ran a 25 client irc server on a 1+. Linux is faster than Solaris on these systems, but they are still only good for single service type applications, which sounds like what you want to do. They are very solid though (36 days uptime on the sparc 1 so far, the sparc 1+ last I looked had 82 days). Ben
Linux on IPCs and 1+s
Hi everybody. We've got a whole mess of anchient sparcs here (8 IPCs, 6 or so 1+s) that I'm considering firing up under linux to do some DNS/mail serving, etc ... I know Solaris 2.x is slow as dirt on these; is linux any better? ... and is the Debian sparc port far enough along to make this practical?
