Yes, but it seems as the other platforms are having lots of more attention,
especially due to the fact that SUN isn't giving much help, because they
support there Solaris operating system.
With respect of the distros, yes, we have just installed SUSE on an ultra5,
and I have been looking at the Debian distribution. But are they fully 64bit?
Have all the aplications been compiled for 64 bit SPARC? I know that this
isn't the case of Debian, and I'm starting to think that the solution is to
stick with Solaris or change the architecture (alpha maybe).
It's all IMHO.
