What Ultra specific stuff? X works, it compiles kernels, and it runs
well enough to be my primary machine for the last 2 months. Also, Sun
loaned us an Ultra 5 which will be at the Debian booth at LinuxWorld
(showing off slink, with gnome-apt and some 0.99.4 gnome packages
added). After LinuxWorld, Sun will be sending it to a user's group
with Debian still installed for a demo.
The 64-bit stuff will come, but the 32-bit stuff is quite usable, and
there is no sense forcing people to use Red Hat (aka UltraPenguin)
while they wait. :)
