Hmmm... why are all the distro's ceasing sparc support? Is it: - difficult to get the specs of the hardware; - not enough developers; - Sun's hostile (??) attitude against Linux (at least most of the Sun people I worked with); - not enough sparc boxes on the market (must be more sun boxes than alpha's and RedHat is still doing alpha); - not enought revenue (same for alpha probably). ??
