Hence being on the list :-) I've run 2.2.20, 2.4.18, 2.4.27, 2.6.8 and 2.6.11, mostly the ones that come with either Stable or Testing. > Is there some application li > ke oracle running on it?

Re: Re: migration from sunOS/ultrasparc to linux/ultrasparc
ok thanks for the answer it help me a lot. What linux (distribution and kernel) did you use for running your E4000 ? Is there some application li ke oracle running on it?

I haven't tried personnally but I see no reason why they shouldn't. Support for newer Sun hardware can be a little rough around the edges as not many developers have them but it should still work. > 2) How well does linux work with multi-processors SPARC > ? > - What are the restrictions ?(number of processor supported ? memor > y? ) (SMP howto is quite old) > - Are the limitations just theoretical > or someone have ever tried them ? I was working on a 10 way E4000 running Linux yesterday and it JFWs. The default limit is 32 processors, I think some of the NUMA patches may handle more. About a year or so ago someone was working on running Linux on an E10K. Not sure anyone's ever tried anything larger.
