One current concern (which I've brought up in the past but probably didn't follow proper procedure) is still the conflict between the tulip and dmfe ethernet kernel modules on both the Sun Netra X1 and Sunfire V100 platforms, as well as their eth0/eth1 numbering being swapped - which neither issue exists with Ubuntu.
The ethx numbering can be cured through the use of udev config files. You can force the system to give a static ethx mapping to an Ethernet card via its MAC address.
