Re: Fujitsu PrimePower 250



thank you for the response
I have downloaded and tried to install debian I have  a kernel error at booting from cdrom is there any way to install debian or any other distro (even a minimal kernel recompiled)
are the differences between the Fujitsu's processor and Sun's ones as enormous than that?
I could read some docs if available and contribute to porting the kernel (I am a computer science specialist and I work with a research center in nuclear physics, this station is for calculus and simulations and finally I hate proprietary software).
Thank you !

Sadly, AFAIK no open source OS yet supports the Fujitsu SPARC64 processor
family (which is different from Sun's 64-bit SPARCv9 processor family).
You're limited to running Solaris on such machines.
