I installed Debian/Sparc (potato) on an UltraSparc e450 that I managed to make available here at work a couple of weeks ago and it is fabulous. So much so that we've now adopted it as a development platform which will mean a significant and favourable move toward Linux here. Great work, thanks to all. regards Terry -- Telstra Research Laboratories, Internetwork Management Project. 3/400 George St., Sydney. +61-2-8255-3109
