Just a debian/sparc/solaris system build upon a non-free kernel ? I would love
something like that. After all the kernel is only a so small part of debian,
and it would even fall in the shipped with the system clause of the GPL for
solaris bixes ...

but then i don't know the stability of linux on sparc (i just heard that my
		ultra 1 system is rumored to have a bug not taken in account by the
		kernel right now :()
