I am currently running 2.6.18-4-sparc32 on one of my sparc32s and I have
a custom 2.6.18 also. It makes me sad but I can accept this. I have
three sparc32s and was planning on installing debian one of the others
but now I will probably do openbsd or netbsd, I alread have openbsd on
the third sparc32. I also have one sparc64 (ultra30)that I can run
debian on, but it is much louder than the sparc32s, so I prefer them. I
recently had some problems with vlans on the sunhme so maybe a new os
will improve that too. Thanks for all the work that has gone into it,
debian is awesome and so are old computers!
