Slightly off topic but I really need to do some SPARC testing as I am
swimming in that stuff.  There just is no way to keep Solaris running
anymore on anything older than eight or nine years ago and so testing
my fav Linux distro seems like a damn fine idea.

This is a note mostly to remind myself to get that going.

I have an M4000 sitting around with 256G of memory and fully loaded
doing nothing but fighting gravity.  That seems wrong to me.
