[indiana-discuss] Feedback requested! Which SPARC platforms to target first...

[caserojj at gmail.com]

It worked on my Sun Blade 1000 but not on the Sun Blade 2000. The latter  
had problems booting from hard disk after the install and often would  
reboot the machine with *MMU miss* errors. I was able to install Solaris 10  
10/08 for sparc on my sb2000.

will run on these platforms. I use the Sun4u (Sun Blade 1000/2000) more  
than the the ultra 30. I would definitely need a desktop environment as I  
use these machines as workstations. My preference is for the sparc port to  
behave exactly like the x86/x64 distro of opensolaris. I do not need the  
live cd a regular install method like what is available with linux is fine.  
But I do need the full complement of software, X server (preferrably  
hardware accelerated), gcc, and gnu utils. I also want to be able to use  
the Sun Studio Express compilers on this platform.
