I'm running 2.4 kernels on all the sparc systems I've got running
Debian.  The one I tried to install the new 2.6 kernel-image package
on had the install fail.  (I still need to check if someone else filed
a bug, and file one if noone has yet.)

I've got it on two Ultra 2 machines.  I think the only differnce the
"enterprise" made is what software and default options it shipped
with.

If you have a creator/creator3d/elite framebuffer, use sunffb.  (They
are in the slot over the scsi connector.)  If you have an SBUS
graphics card, it is probably a turbogx aka cg6 aka cgsix.  If you
can't figure out what graphics card you have, look for a 501-xxxx
number on the board.  Ignore any extra digits or lack of dash, and
search for the number with google.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option.  It is a standard feature.
