By "Fedora Folks", do you mean our friends at Red Hat who run the project? You do know that our illustrious project leader is one of the fine folks who works for Red Hat, right? > Spot, have the Fedora folks basically said there isn't enough demand for > a sparc cut of Fedora? I would love it, personally. I've got somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen sparc boxes that I'm using less and less, mostly because of the lack of modern software. Yeah, I build some of my own packages but I'd like to keep more up-to-date on things. Personally, I'd be totally stoked to have Fedora Core 2 run on my sparcs, and for the distribution to continue to stay up to date on this platform. That's just at home. At work I have a bunch of E220R's that are to be retired soon, and $BOSS has asked me if we could run Linux on them perhaps (since we run CentOS Enterprise Linux on our PC's, there wouldn't need to be a lot of learning curve for people to use Fedora Core on the suns). _______________________________________________ Aurora-sparc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.auroralinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aurora-sparc-devel Aurora FAQ: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mas01r/aurorafaq.html
