yesterday i tried suse 7.3 on my sparc 5/170/32 mb. and it worked!! i was able to partition my disks, the bootloader was written, the prom bootdevice was modified. incredible. the beast booted and worked. now i will try to find more memory. i know about the 5/170 but i would like to have this thing as my personal workstation at home for writing and surfing. nothing else. i am deeply regret that suse has canceled sparc linux, although i understand this step (because developing and managing is really expensive). on the other side there are many folks who would like to give a new life to good old things. greetings Gert Lettner

SS5/170 is a kind of beast, but I had no problems with it running SuSE 7.3. It's really a pitty, that they won't go on with.
I posted SuSEs negative decision Sparc policy already a year or so ago when we had talks with SuSE about SuSE on Sparc.
