The Ultra just means that the=20 UltraSparc is now supported IN ADDITION TO the others. However, as=20 Jakub Jelinek wrote in the intro section of UltraPenguin web pages, he=20 couldn't use Sparc in the name, since that is a trademark of Sparc=20 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=20 sometime after the Linux Expo.

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 ??? -Mathias ------------- End Forwarded Message ------------- David Andrew Tel: 978-442-2316 Internal: 22316 Market Development Engineer - I/O Technologies FAX: 978-442-1520=09 Sun Microsystems, 2 Omni Way - M/S UCHL02-102, Chelmsford, MA 01824 =20
