I would be willing to help Andreas obtain access to SPARC64 hardware, be it with the donation of a SPARC T4 server which we can ship to Andreas or access to a SPARC T4 server running Solaris with the possibility to start Linux VMs inside a SPARC LDOM on top of Solaris. Either way, the lack of access to SPARC64 should be our least concern, we will definitely be able to sort something out and I assume that the Gentoo people would certainly be willing to help with that effort. As for testing and reviewing patches, both Debian and Gentoo people working on the SPARC ports would be available for that. I would be very happy to see Andreas take up (co-)maintainership of the SPARC Linux port. Adrian -- .''`.
