You want Aurora Linux (http://www.auroralinux.org), headed by Tom Callaway. The most current test release is Wombat, which is based off Fedora Core 1.92 (FC2 Test2 I believe). There are not yet ISOs for Wombat, so you have to install the Aurora 1.0 release from CDs first, then yum update to Wombat, but I've done this about 5 times now with good results. http://lists.auroralinux.org/pipermail/aurora-sparc-announce/2004- May/000020.html http://lists.auroralinux.org/pipermail/aurora-sparc-user/2004- July/001650.html (if you have problems using yum behind a firewall, you have to modify the older yum .py files to use passive FTP, just ask) Dan
