I saw them running Linux on their SPARC 64 clones in Singapore in early
April '99. I even suggested to Migs to invite them to exhibit their
hardware at Linux '99. I don't know if Sun has started shipping Linux on
their Ultras already, but Donovan has been doing so for a while now. Their
claim to be "first" must be because they manufacture their boxes to run
SPARC 64 Linux. Sun, of course, prefers to ship their own. :)
