I don't have any answers or advice for you, but would be very
interested to hear more about it. I also have old Sparc's, including
(if it's still around somewhere) an X1. It would be a lovely low-power
server if I could get it running a reasonable OS.
I've attached IDE CD-ROM drives to it in the past to load things, and
while it's possible, it's not fun. Info on how to load from the
debian distributions over the network would be appreciated.
