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?
I have an Ultra 10 that I couldn't get gentoo to install onto. I've had more success with Debian though. I downloaded the latest - but it is still using the 2.4 kernel. Otherwise, it works very well. I tried the full download, but had some problems installing from the disks. However, but using the network install option (download the boot iso), this installed with no problems.
