Re: Debian on Sparc



Sun Netra's don't use fujitsu processors.   They use Sun Micro Electronic's CPU's in
the systems.  The netra xxxx models are their flag ship fault tollerant product
intended for NEBS environments.  I doubt the system would receive NEBS bellcore
certification with unreliable components.    Buying a netra with fujitsu CPU's is
like purchasing an intel motherboard with an Athlon on it.

Yes the netra's do run apache, as to the other items you mentioned, it is quite
possible.

regards,
Mike
