However, there are a few quirks: The kernel is 2.4.27 - I was hoping for a 2.6 kernel. I don't really=20 understand why 2.4 is only available.
It looks like 2.6 on sparc isn't an easy task, and the porters aim to support as many sparc variations as possible. See http://wiki.debian.net/?SparcKernelStatus
A call for testers is at http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2005/07/msg00180.html
Hope that helps,
