Yes. 32-bit SPARC Debian is ahead of 64-bit Ultra port. The major reason is the 64-bit support of gcc(egcs) to UltraSPARC. Since now 64-bit Solaris is out and GCC seems to have a native support on Solaris, I think UltraLinux port will go pretty quick. There is possibility of merging both 32-bit and 64-bit distribution together. --ward Ward Deng, Ph.D | Kachina Technologies, Inc.
