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...

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!

Hans
