Thank you very much for your reply. I am new to Sun and systems and hence these questions. In order to start my work on this I need to first find out the Sun system configuration I am using. What I know is its a Sun Ultra10 (4 PCI, SPARC-IIi 300MHz and 256 RAM). Which I found after looking at the system and then while scanning the messages file.
- Debian Linux distro available on debian site is for SPARC so will this work on this ULTRA10 machine? - The application which I want to port uses C/C++, Informix7.1, DataView (for GUI features). This application is originally built on HP-UX 10.20. So is Debian a good choice? - The application(Switch Surveillance system used for Telecom Network Management) has major control through the GUI features, so will Debian be the right disrto to use? - Are there any porting guidelines document available? If yes then where can I find them? Thanks for the help.
