RE: linux4sparc support; was [suse-sparc] SPARCstation 5 Online Update Hangs

Don't forget Gentoo, but its source based and compile time is long on a
sparc5.   

Also, grab the newest gcc 3.2-25 (sept-02) rpms, Kde 3.1 compiled just
fine with it. You can get them at ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kukuk/SPARC

While the newer releases would be nice, unless sun releases gfx drivers
for the Sun 3D cards, I don't see much reason in upgrading my current
Sparc Linux distro.

BTW, just got added a PPC machine to my collection, was going to try
SuSE, but Mandrake released its newest 9.1 distro for PPC. (too many
machines, too many distros...)

So

Does this means that http://www.auroralinux.org/ and debian are the only
active option?
I heard on the list, that there are allready "rawhide"-based rpms
available...

For what its worth, this announcement only affects Sun's x86 Linux
offerings, it has no effect on Sun's Linux/SPARC strategy (which is to
pretend that it doesn't exist).
