SUMMARY - LINUX with SUN Hardware (SPARC RISC)

[reinaldo.ono at copel.com]

My Original Questions :
> Is there somebody using LINUX with SUN E3000, E3500 and SUNFIRE (6800 and 12/15K) server models ?
> If yes, witch distribution of linux are you using ? Is there any step by step doc avaliable ?

The Summary Answers :
Debiam SPARC
SUSe SPARC
free linux/BSD

> Is there any step by step doc avaliable ?
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/SPARC-HOWTO

Summary Considerations:
- You won't find a lot of support for running OS other than Solaris on sparc cpus
- None of the free linux/BSD distributions can handle SMP as well as solaris
- There isn't a good reason to run linux in these boxes

Thanks for all help and answers I received.
