Hi Folks,

It is a good idea to promote the UltraPenguin 1.0.9 as the Linux for the 
whole range of Sparc platforms.  The Ultra just means that the 
UltraSparc is now supported IN ADDITION TO the others.  However, as 
Jakub Jelinek wrote in the  intro section of UltraPenguin web pages, he 
couldn't use Sparc in the name, since that is a trademark of Sparc 
International.  S/Linux was a suggestion he made for a generic name.

We can work on getting RedHat a couple of Ultra systems to play with 
sometime after the Linux Expo.

The name you propose is absolutely o.k. IMHO we should all test it
critically and post any probs to the ultralinux list. It seems to me
rather calm there.

Only a stable RH 5.1 for sparc should be released, we should not make
the same mistake as MS does it with windoze95, -98, -01 ???
