Hi,
> It must be true, I emailed Sun about 3 months ago and suggested it. (-:

  So long as Sun let the Mandrakers stay semi-independent, it probably 
*would* be a good thing. Certainly Sun could help move Linux to higher end 
systems, and have a suitable replacement to offer as more and more people 
move away from Solaris.
  For Mandrake, it would mean they probably would have enough funds to go on 
for a long time, would finally get a working out-of-the-box Java setup for 
Konqi, and would have the opportunity to support highend boxen.

  Hmm... Debian isn't so bad if you can get past the installation. Otherwise, 
I did a search on Google, and turned up the fact that you can download SuSE 
Linux 7.3 for SPARC (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/7.3/iso/)... you can 
also read more Linux/SPARC stuff at http://www.ultralinux.org/ .
