It also shows (or re-confirms) me technical aspects of what to expect, how and when. Because it is time to move to 1.5.x, also on SPARC. I think *we* can help accellerate the launch of SPARC-Indiana, if *we* work together (*we* includes for a few brilliant engineers I had the honor to talk to recently [incl. from other distros]). It also includes a person from Sun. Ok. I print it out and sign it. Now I need to unwrap and install my old scsi scanner, or I send it out via FAX. In any case you will get an early (Sun-unconfirmed) copy of it.
