Debian Sparc -- when?
In January I will be thrown into administration of six new SPARCs (don't
know yet what exactly they will be) in an existing subnet, having
only two months of experience as root (on a standalone Debian Linux PC).
In some newsgroup I followed a Linux vs. Solaris discussion, with the
resume that on systems with not too many users (and without multiple
processors :-) Linux will run much faster. So I'm considering to
install Linux on the SPARCs, but I wonder if there is already a
Debian Distribution for SPARC which works as smoothly as the PC
distrib, eg. having boot disks and all the stuff one needs. Is the
SPARC tree in debian/stable as complete as the binary-i386 tree?
Not having that much experience yet I wouldn't want to try to install
from a distribution which is considered experimental (as suggested to
me by reading the articles in debian-sparc-1196). I realize that
there is an official release of Red Hat for SPARC which I should use, but
I like Debian and would rather stick with it, so: will it work
(already, soon)?
Regards
Nils Ackermann
