Good idea to move sparc and hp-ux to opensuse. Hope the development moves forward.

(and supporting it also.) Hence my suggestion for the move to opensuse and let the community do the rest ;-)) Sparc is supported somewhere, have a look at auroralinux.org. Dennis is porting /recompiling a huge number of packages for Sparc ( http://aurora.fedoramirror.net/pub/aurora/ ) And if you don't mind going back in time for ten years, you might try *bsd. Current best option (imho) install aurora 1.00, and upgrade to 1.92, and eventually Corona. Hans
