There is a little-publised BETA of SuSE 7 for sparc that can be downloaded from ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/suse-us-sparc/ there are four ISO images you can download, if you dont' want the sources then you do not need the 4th disk. I am running this on an ultra30, however a friend has loaded it on a SPARC 10 without problem. The main problem I can find is that SILO when configured from within YAST2 does not get configured properly I would suggest you install using YAST1, in order to get a bootable system, then try YAST2 to adjust your configuration. Prior to SuSE I tested the Red Hat version for SPARC, but as that is only one disk, then the number of binary apps supplied is a lot less than SuSE. There is also a quiet (Dead) mailing list suse-sparc@suse.com although since the ISOs were only released on the 11th August, and not publised at than it is not surprising. Try searching the SuSE web sites, there is no mention of it. Have fun David Bottrill
Does anyone know whether I can run SuSE Linux on a Sun (Sparc20)?
Or, if not, is there a Linux distro for that platform? Maybe even FreeBSD?
It's a small experiment we're setting up here. This could make Linux a lot more popular in my company (currently, I constantly have to defend it's use, despite of the overwelming performance and possiblities it created).
