Something a bit more interesting to discuss, does anyone have any ideas on getting Linux onto an old Sun Sparc 2 workstation? I have gentoo working on my Ultra 60 but cant find any linux for non-ultra sparc machines. Any ideas?
Does Sun Sparc 2 workstation = SPARCstation 2?
http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html#q_2_1 suggests that's a sun4c system similar to the "pizzabox" SPARCstation that I installed debian onto some years ago (sun5.mth.uea.ac.uk I think, which might have been the one killed in a power supply overheat that nearly melted the monitor stand... messy). I'd start at http://www.uk.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/
Good luck!
