The above machine has a Sun Ultra Sparc CPU. Ubuntu does not have a release for Sparc CPU. > Is Ubuntu well supported on Sun See above > or shall I try out > someother distributions. If so then which distro will be the best. Your best bet is Debian <http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian-cd/current/sparc/> IIRC, most major Linux distros have dropped support for Sparc CPU. > I also need to install linux on Sun Blade 1500 machines. Please provide me directions for that also. Please do your home work - find out the CPU in these boxes. Again your best bet might be to stick with Debian and find the appropriate iso image for the CPU in these boxes. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
