Sparc is supported by a number of other flavors of Linux...Debian supports
it, and a few others. However Suse does not, and I doubt very seriously if
Novell cares if it is supported.

Is there a recent build of SuSE for sparc platform available
for download? On the ftp site it looks like there's a very old
build.

At last meeting in Nurnberg i tried to persued them to move all the
other ports entirely to opensuse, (not just Sparc, but HP-PA also)
As there will be no revenue coming from it, it is hard for them to have
someone working at it. (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.
