Let us know if you need testers.

It's not that
woody doesn't have the
gcc -mv8 optimizations compiled in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2002/debian-sparc-200212/msg00025.html
I ended up maintaining my own openssl and openssh debs with the
optimizations compiled in, made all the difference in the world.

n my ultra 1 with the 'tun' driver
built in(used by vtun). works fine(e.g. doesn't crash), haven't
had a need to actually use a vpn on that machine though.
the tun driver is also used by other vpn packages as well though
I can't remember their names
nate
t for any advice anyone can offer!!
nate
s say ;)
That said I've moved a lot of my infrastructure from solaris/sparc to
debian linux (both x86 and sparc) and never looked back. In fact UE2's
and other older boxes seem to be able to do a hell of a lot more work
running linux.

I guess it's impossible to run gdm w/o a local X server. ever since I
instaleld the software to support the local X server gdm won
logging in via gdm(I see the login screen
and can authenticate ..)

I suspect this is a gdm configuration issue ...

so maybe it's just going to be getting gdm not to try to start X locally..

how is it not working? does it not boot? does it not install? is the

but I hear they are pretty decent.
HP/Compaq is somewhat similar though some of the management at
that company really hate unix/linux and love MS, so IBM would be my
first choice.

installation. Worked like a charm, I recommend you try the same.

Unplug the A1000 and see if you can install ok without it. You certainly

Hmm, I have an A1000 that I might be able to free up for use under
Linux. Hardware RAID and battery-backed write caching would rule. For
such a setup do you have to configure the array with "Raid Manager"

- stable. debian stable stays stable, that is major
revs are not permitted, you won't see(i hope) an upgrade
from kde2 to kde3 in the middle of a stable release.
some don't like this, but i consider it a major strength,
and uniqueness to debian.
- backported patches. i like how debian backports patches
to the stable tree. that builds on the point above. i only
wish there was backported kernel stuff.
thats it for me for now..

redhat etc..
and BTW, "sparc" hardware is typically found on systems from

they are radically different from PCs in many respects.

Anyone every run woody on anything with more than 4 CPUs? I think the

oaded debian 3.0r0 ISO images about 3 weeks ago and they
defaulted to 2.4.something, at least on my ultra 1. perhaps if
you have a 32bit system it may try to use 2.2.x I'm not sure,
SILO wouldn't let me load a 32bit kernel even when I tried(didn't
care either way personally). or maybe it did but the kernel
wouldn't boot.
nate
tly run the 64-bit Linux kernel on my 10 or so ultrasparc boxes
running debian, but am I actually gaining anything? I realize the
instruction set expanded with ultrasparc, so let's for argument's sake
compare 32 and 64-bit kernels compiled with the v9 instruction set on
ultrasparc.
So
had to specify the path to both the
kernel and the root image as well. but it worked..system installed flawlessly
after that. Trying out SusE 7.2 now, pretty fancy to see YaST2 on sparc.
nate
k, that was a guess as to the answer. The
question was why SSH logins and some other crypto operations were so
slow on woody/sparc.
Thanks for the help.
