Yes, but it seems as the other platforms are having lots of more attention,= =20 especially due to the fact that SUN isn't giving much help, because they=20 support there Solaris operating system. With respect of the distros, yes, we have just installed SUSE on an ultra5,= =20 and I have been looking at the Debian distribution. But are they fully 64bi= t?=20 Have all the aplications been compiled for 64 bit SPARC? I know that this=20 isn't the case of Debian, and I'm starting to think that the solution is to= =20 stick with Solaris or change the architecture (alpha maybe). It's all IMHO. --=20 System Administration: It's a dirty job,=20 but someone told I had to do it. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mart=EDn Marqu=E9s email: martin@math.unl.edu.ar Santa Fe - Argentina http://math.unl.edu.ar/~martin/ Administrador de sistemas en math.unl.edu.ar ----------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ultralinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
