Hey Kevin, that brings me to a question. Do you guys ever plan to do a
RHEL for the Sparc processor family, I have 23 machines at work that are
SPARC based and we have had to hunt, scrounge, jury rig anything to put
Linux on them.
This is answered pretty well in the Aurora mailing list archives, which are worth looking up. Basically Linux/SPARC is a tiny niche with high support costs so don't hold your breath. There is a very remote chance that Fedora Core 2 will run on SPARC but probably a more realistic chance of Fedora Core 3.
Of course you have Debian & OpenBSD that run very well on SPARC, Aurora Linux 1.0 (if you don't mind running Red Hat Linux 7.3), and some others that claim at least to install on SPARC.
There is some momentum building for cAos to run on SPARC, and already some people working on that.
