Holy obscurity, I had completely forgotten about this mailing list.

My first forays into sparc linux were the Suse 7.3 distro.  But as time
wore on and there were no updates, I found myself less and less
enthused.

Then I found Gentoo.

Gentoo is definitely active in the sparc sense. Not so much as the x86,
of course, but what is, really?

My Ultra-2 has a new life running the 2005 build of Gentoo, and it's
been
up and stable for ages.  In fact, I forget that it's blindly connected
to
the internet serving up mail and web until my primary workstation goes
down
and I have to switch over to that console temporarily.

Okay, enough prosthelytizing. Heh.
