only thing that slightly discouraged me was the XVR-1200 framebuffer that
I agree with Nikola and I'd also like to add:

By the way, as a way to support Martin's work and get some well-preserved and
functional desktop-ready SPARC gear, people are encouraged to take a look at

Ok, since no one else wants to bite, I guess I will.
I haven’t spoken with Martin or spent any significant time watching his distro
