Is there any life left in Redhat's linux for sparc64 platform? The mirrors only have fc9 and rawhide 
trees and there aren't even any netinst isos for rawhide... Is it possible to upgrade to rawhide via 
yum from a fc9 base install?

It's sad to see that after all these years my trusty old sparc64s are probably going to have to 
switch to debian or openbsd - there's always gentoo *shudder* or even solaris but let's face it, 
solaris belongs on high end sparc and x86_64 these days. It's terrible on slower ultra-series 
machines. For the moment I'm going to keep my dd'd corona install on /dev/sdb but it really needs 
updating, preferably with something still aurora-flavoured.

Also, has everyone just migrated to IRC and/or is this list just dead?

Anyone?
