Not sure if this sort of question is allowed here so if its not I apologise.   I have an Ultra 60 (Sparc) with a raptor GFX video card. How can I configure this for X-windows or is it not possible. Would a PGX32 card be better?   Thanks, Andy Norrie   Not on this list so please CC me.

Did it ever occur to you that one can be an active Debian contributor and not use Debian at all ? No. And even if it did, I fail to see how that is relevant here. You cannot be an active Debian contributor without knowing about its culture, which is what Marc was talking about. What is Debian
