http://www.ultralinux.org
is meant to cover both sparc and ultra linux as there are not a lot of
difference. I need to do more updates on the site, and welcome anyone
that wants to help.
It is hard to find info sometimes. Partly because some of the stuff
is redhat specific, some debian specific, sometimes general, etc. The
redhat pages also seem to change urls fairly frequently which is
frustrating.
Here are a few other pointers:
RedHat's supported hardware list:
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/hardware/sparc/6.0/rh60-hardware.sparc.html
RedHat's errata page:
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/errata/rh60-errata-general.html
Debian's SPARC linux page:
http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/
Debian's Ultra linux page:
http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc64/
Ultrapenguin page:
http://ultra.penguin.cz/
Off the top of my head I don't think there is a sparclinux netscape,
but the SunOS version should run fine (see
http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html to set up SunOS emulation). From
what I understand the machine that handles the sparclinux mailing list
is a bit stressed which is why things take so long.
