Linux on a Sun Enterprise 5000?

Hi,

This is by far the weirdest question I have ever sent to this list.

I'm active as a voluntary in a local center to teach kids programming
(Python), Unix, Povray and about everything that is cool. We do this on
about ten different Suns, mostly Ultra's running Woody. We got these
machines 'sponsored' second-hand because they were abandoned by companies
anyway. The kids are very happy with it, from NEdit to nethack-qt and
everything in between. Even mplayer works (with weird colors ;))
Thanks for all your work so far!

Recently, however, we've been offered an Ultra Enterprise 5000. No joke.

Solaris is the obvious choice, of course. But would it be possible to
run Linux SMP on such a dragon? Can I help with it? And for what big
purposes could we best use the thing? I already have some ideas :)


Thanks,
Pieter-Paul
