IIRC it is because all of the SPARCs prior to the ULTRA line were 32bit. The UltraSPARCs and beyond were 64 bit machines. Thus an ULTRA 10 has both a machine name and a sparc64 designation. James On Sat, 7 Sep 2002, Bill Moseley wrote: > BTW -- The Ultra 10 on sourceforge say: > > $ uname -a >

Why is it called sparc64?

BTW -- The Ultra 10 on sourceforge say: $ uname -a Linux usf-cf-sparc-linux-1 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 unknown I gather from the Solaris list it's a SPARC v9, and a sparc64 is something else. -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
