Hi all, I'm still using a ss10 and a ss20 with a fairly current kernel and a home-brew gentoo linux for sparc32. It's mostly for fun but I try to keep my gentoo up to date and follow what's going on with the sparc32 kernel. I don't have access to LEON sparc hardware and LEON boards seems to expensive to get just for fun. but would still love to keep running current linux kernels on real sparc hardware. I guess SMP on sparc32 has some issues and probably the most recent linux kernel is even too big to boot on sparcstation hardware but UP still works fine. I really hope that the Linux kernel can continue to run on sun4d and sun4m hardware. Not sure if "because it's fun" is a good enough reason but I hope so!
