It will be great. What we can do is to see how many people who are interested
in that. I am pretty sure I will have bargin power if we can gather more than
10.

Currently, we are waiting for 64-bit SPARC support of gcc/egcs compiler.
However, I think we should be able to work on bootstrap and installation
part with the 64-bit UltraPenguin kernel with Debian installer/ramdisk part.
Anyone give some guidance on that? I can work on that.
I will assign an account for you. Please subscribe to the mailing list:
debian-ultralinux@KachinaTech.COM since many system related things will be
discussed there.
