Hi Henne, Is it only the lack of traffic? I wonder if the interrest is also deminnished... Can you tell (or should i be able to see for my self) how many people are still subscribed to the list... >From reliability point of view, sun hardware allways wins! There are not many intel / amd systems i know of, that last as long as sun-systems. On other alternative, hp-risc, turned the cots-hardware, with its reduced life-span. Perhaps i looked at the wrong places, but any chance of some practical info about the ice-cream cross-compilation possibilities? afaik, its an in-house tool, not? publically available, but not documented. I had suse-7.0 running on my sparc-lx and my sparc-20-smp, but those systems are not capable for heavy complilation job (33mHZ cpu ;-) At the time of the 10.0 release-party for the beta-testers, i raised the topic about different architectures. AJ told me that you had a lack of hw-resources, and that sun-equipment was used for NFS-tests. And that the sparc-port, like the hp-risc port, were actually in private inhouse experiment. So if any other sparc-lovers still alive: raise to the occasion! Henne, if you think that (open)-suse can be cured from obesitas, sparc has still a future. 7.0 ran well on 64MB, while otoh if you want to upgrade an 10.1 system, you need 1GB AND swap-space! (Was happy to find that 10.3 is not such a resource-pig as 10.1) But 512MB is the limit for many sparc-systems!
