One other thing. I've heard that the performance of Ultrasparc Linux is not expected to be as good as Solaris because user-mode Sparc binaries run in a 32 bit mode. How do you feel about how well Linux runs on the Ultrasparc?

Interesting. I've never had a problem with it on IA32 motherboards. Is this specific to the Sparc implementation, or have I always been doing things wrong? On Tue, Jun 10, 2003 at 02:41:31PM -0700, Patrick Morris wrote: > That may be your problem right there. If nothing else is on the > control
